Planning & Zoning Department
The Planning and Zoning Division provides staff services to the Planning and Zoning Board which holds public hearings on rezoning, conditional uses and land use amendments, and to the Board of Adjustment which conducts public hearings on requests for variances and administrative appeals from the zoning ordinance.
The division also has the responsibility for site plan review for new construction in the City. Staff also works to ensure that provisions of the City's Comprehensive Plan are met.
MISSION STATEMENT
The Planning Department has the mission to ensure that all development within City of Palmetto follows the requirements set forth in the City of Palmetto Comprehensive Plan. This Comprehensive Plan was developed pursuant to the requirements of Chapter 163, Florida Statutes (FS), the "Local Government Comprehensive Planning and Land Development Regulation Act", and pursuant to the requirements of Rule/Chapter 9J-5, Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.). The goals of the Comprehensive Plan are developed to:
- improve the physical environment of the community as a setting for human and natural resource activities
- protect the public health, safety, and welfare
- ensure that long-range considerations are included in the determination of short-range actions
- provide for fair and equitable consideration of private property rights while ensuring appropriate protection of the (more broadly defined) public interest as determined by the Palmetto City Commission
- effect political cooperation and technical coordination by bringing professional and technical knowledge to bear on governmental decisions concerning the physical development of the community
- to promote a healthy, stable, and vigorous local economy and neighborhoods which can satisfy the goods and service needs of the local community
