The Planning & Zoning Division accepts development proposals and conducts meetings with homeowners, contractors, developers, attorneys, architects, and other Village staff to effectively, efficiently and timely review the submission to ensure compliance with the land development codes. Applications are processed, staff reports are prepared and material is presented to the Planning & Zoning board for all variances, site plans and ordinance revisions. This Division provides staff support for the Board on special projects as well as acting as the official staff liaison between Board and Village. The Division is responsible to investigate and report matters as assigned by the Village Manager. New ordinances, staff reports and materials are prepared and submitted for approval by the Village Council. Updates to the Land Use Map and Comprehensive Plan are also reviewed periodically as required by Florida Statutes.
