Planning and Zoning

The Planning and Zoning Department processes development applications including subdivision plats, rezoning requests, specific use permits and variance requests. The Planning and Zoning Department staff serves as liaison to the Planning and Zoning Commission and Zoning Board of Adjustment.

Apply for a Planning Application

We have launched our new online application portal for Planning Applications. You can now digitally submit a rezoning request, specific use permit, plat, variance case and more using this online portal. Once you create an account, your username and password will be saved in the system. Keep your username and password handy as we are unable to make any changes to your log in information for you. 

Ready to apply for your planning application? Apply with our new online application portal here. Please contact us at 817-556-8811 or 817-645-0947 if you have any questions or need assistance with the online portal.

Active Development Map

The Active Development Map is now live! For the first time, visitors to the Community Development webpage can see where development is actively happening across the City, and view plans and images of what’s being constructed. Access the Active Development Map here,

The map will continually update as projects are approved and begin construction, so be sure to check back often. 

Community Development worked with IT/GIS over a period of months to create this great resource. If you have any questions or want to know more about a particular development, please call the Planning and Zoning Division at 817-556-8811.
