Public Meetings
Public meetings (PDF) are held on the first and third Tuesday of every month at 1 p.m. in the Board Room located at 1901 S. Alamo. Zoning Commission notices (PDF) are mailed out to alert the public of upcoming hearings.
For information on the Zoning Commission meetings, contact the Zoning Commission Liaison.
Citizen Participation
We encourage you to attend public hearings. If you are unable to attend, you can submit comments for the Zoning Commission to consider.
Public comments on agenda items can be submitted to the assigned Case Manager in person, by mail, or by emailing the Zoning Commission Liaison.
Building and Construction
In order to construct, your property must be platted and zoned. Since the City has a variety of zoning districts, the first step is to verify that the zoning of your land allows for its intended use. For more information, please see the following:
