The Land Development Code determines how land can be used throughout the city, including what can be built, where it can be built, and how much can (or cannot) be built. This information refers to the City's current land use code. Visit this page (Web) for more information about proposed amendments to the code.
Below are links to the existing City Code and Land Development Code.
The Planning Commission and City Council may initiate changes to the Code. The focus may be on a single neighborhood, a corridor, an activity center, or on a more extensive area depending on community and citywide goals.
