Land Development
Zoning is authorized by law and upheld by state and federal court
decisions over the last 100 years as a process for local control of
land use necessary to protect the public health, safety and
welfare. The planning principles upon which zoning is based include
the need to:
- Balance competing interests of all landowners and residents
with the rights of individual landowners;
- Help provide a long term community vision;
- Environmental enhancement and protection;
- Provision of public services throughout the community;
- Assure good quality of life desired by residents;
- Provision of fairness and consistency with reviews;
- Minimize land use conflicts; and
- Promote public health, safety and general welfare.
Please review our plans and ordinances to familiarize yourself
with land use regulations and their planning basis. If you
have any questions regarding anything in this section, please
