Planning & Development Services 

Creating a safe, connected, and beautiful community.

PDS has three main roles: Planning, Land Development, and Code Administration. Under Director Ron Henshaw, we monitor developments at every stage, from concept to final construction. We review building plans, issue permits, inspect construction, and solicit community feedback.
