The New Projects Map can also be used to learn more about recently proposed land use actions or public notices. The map features only those proposals that are subject to City noticing requirements, which are generally larger projects that are subject to environmental review or public hearings and subdivisions. This map resource is not a comprehensive listing of all proposals for which the city must make a decision and also is not for capital projects.
Click here for available Current and Archived project documents. Please note: not all land-use projects are listed here. If you would like to view documents/records for a project not listed, please submit a public records request through the City Clerk's Office.
