Welcome to the Community Development Department

The Community Development Department is responsible for the administration of the General Plan, Zoning Code, Subdivision Ordinance, California Environmental Quality Act, the International Property Maintenance Code, and the Uniform Building, Plumbing, Mechanical, and Electrical Codes, including Title 24, energy and accessibility requirements. The Department is also responsible for the management, administration and oversight of all activities that are funded with Community Development Block Grant, Home and Housing set-aside funding. 

Community Development is comprised of Planning, Engineering, Building and Safety, Community Preservation, and Housing and Redevelopment. The Community Development Department is key to the City’s approach to coordinated efforts in addressing community and regional development issues in growth management, environmental quality and infrastructure planning and implementation.  Community Development is structured to coordinate and provide technical assistance on issues of current and future land development to the City Council, Commissions and the public. It is the Department’s mission to provide this assistance in a highly professional and customer service oriented manner.
