classifications within the City and to provide mapping resources.
Zoning functions include the following:
(1) Provide proper zoning classification of properties within the City. Zoning is a tool
to designate the uses of property, such as residential, business, agricultural,
industry, etc. Proper zoning ensures the best use for the property and, at the
same time, protects adjacent properties from minced uses that reduce property
value and lower the quality of life for adjacent property owners and residents. It
also regulates parking, building heights, lot coverage, noise pollution, setbacks,
and regulations relating to the use of property.
(2) Enforce zoning ordinances relating to uses permitted, parking, lot coverage,
minimum building area, storage, heights, and other items.

relating to land use and zoning.

lines, easements, right-of-ways, subdivisions, lots, and other related matters.
