|
|
|
|
|
|
To meet the needs of our community members, the City-County Planning Department has launched an Interactive Map and Community Input Tool through the Land Use Engagement Site. This tool provides an opportunity for community members to: - Obtain information about zoning map change and annexation petition applications submitted to the Planning Department
- Stay updated on engagement opportunities, track the progress of projects, provide input on these projects
- See a clear and transparent record of the evolution of a project
- See what other community members are saying about development proposals
- Learn what information goes into how land use decisions are made
We encourage you to engage with this site early and often, and stay active in cases that have meaning or impact to you and your community.
