The Community Development Department is the principle office responsible for processing land use applications such as Conditional     Use Permits, Design Review Permits, Tentative Tract / Parcel Maps, Temporary Use Permits, Sign Permits, and Home Occupation Permits.   The Division is also a necessary step in the Business Licenses   application process.

All new developments or modifications / upgrades to existing commercial, industrial, or residential structures must be reviewed for conformance   to the Development Code, any applicable Specific or Community Plan, and the City's General Plan before that construction may begin.
