Planning
and Review Services
We plan for the community's future infrastructure needs (streets, sewers, storm drains,
etc.). We review site plans to ensure that they meet standards and coordinate the
development of public improvements required to support new development. We develop
City-wide design standards for public works improvements; review all lot line adjustments,
lot mergers, and any other types of property subdivision; assist with the formation of
special assessment districts for under grounding utilities or other similar public
improvements; and design street, sidewalk, storm drain, sewer and building improvements.
Design Services
We prepare plans, specifications and cost estimates for street, sidewalk, storm drain,
sewer and building improvements.
Property Information
We maintain Assessor's parcel information, flood zone and geohazard information, soils
reports (historic and current), tree location/ownership information, corner monument
information, infrastructure information (location/depth of storm drains, location of sewer
lines, location/ownership of street lights, etc.), storm drain & sewer lines mains and
aerial/topographic maps of public lands.
Permits
We issue various permits for access to or use of the City's right-of-way, such as street
opening permits for installation or repair of water or power lines; sidewalk permits for
installation or replacement of sidewalks or driveways; and transportation permits to
coordinate the movement of overweight, oversize vehicles through the City in order to
protect roadways and other facilities. We also issue encroachment permits for construction
of fixed or permanent structures within the public right-of-way.
