DEPARTMENT PURPOSE AND GOALS

The Development Services Department’s mission is to work together to build thriving neighborhoods and an
equitable community by helping people make sound decisions to create safe, orderly, and sustainable
development. Our vision is to collaborate with the development and community stakeholders to guide growth
through innovative, inclusive, and accountable relationships and provide an exemplary customer experience. In
FY2021, the Department merged with sections from other departments to create a more efficient permitting
experience. Development Services now has five divisions: Administration/Executive Leadership, Development
Coordination, Permitting and Inspections, Zoning and Design Review, and Infrastructure Development.

The Administration Division is responsible for executive leadership, operations management, Finance, Budget,
Purchasing, Human Resources, Capital Projects and Grants, and policy development.

The Development Coordination Division is comprised of five sections. The Developer Contract section is
responsible for managing contracts for the developer installation of public and private infrastructure (roads, water
lines, sanitary and storm sewers, stormwater controls, and signage, in addition to certain real property contracts).
The Transportation Impact Fee section is responsible for managing the city’s Transportation Impact Fee program
by coordinating Public/Private Partnerships, updating the Impact Fee ordinance and related studies, the
calculation/assessment of transportation impact fees, consideration of discounts, review of transportation impact
analysis (TIA) and management of Transportation Impact fee credit agreements and credit pools. The Project
Facilitation section is charged with helping expedite development projects by heading inter-departmental project
teams, negotiating special review accommodations, and acting as the developer’s liaison throughout the
development review process while also ensuring that the city’s regulations and project requirements are still met.
