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 Platting Section administers the city’s
subdivision regulations and implements the city’s annexation policy. The Contract Management section is
responsible for managing contracts for the developer led 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 Strategic Operations section is tasked with monitoring permit data, managing City-wide permitting
system, and acts as a liaison with IT for projects and technology products. This section also includes the
Transportation Impact Fee office that is responsible for managing the city’s Transportation Impact Fee program
and leveraging the funds to build public roadway infrastructure via Public/Private Partnerships. The Project
Facilitation section is charged with helping expedite significant and signature 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
