Planning Atlas

The Department of Planning and Community Development frequently deals with the public regarding questions that are map-oriented in nature.  Common questions involve the zoning designation of a tax parcel, subdivision locations, and information on tax parcels.  In order to assist the public with these map inquires, the City’s Geographic Information System (GIS) housed in Central Services has teamed up with Planning and Community Development to create a detailed map series of square-mile sections within the City to assist residents, developers, and engineers.

The map series currently contains the following five maps: topographic contours and aerial photography (April 2006); zoning districts; tax parcels and lots; school information and subdivisions; and soil information.  The maps were output in Adobe PDF format for viewing online or printing at a standard letter-size page. 

Please note that the tax parcel maps include very small text due to the sheer number of labels.  In order to print out a legible portion of the parcel map you will need to zoom into your area of interest and load Adobe Reader’s “Snapshot” tool.  The tool is available in Adobe Reader by selecting the Tools menu and choosing Snapshot Tool.  You can then activate the tool to draw an area of interest on the map.  After choosing the area for printing, select Print and ensure that the Print Range is chosen as Selected Graphic.

All maps are for general reference information only. The maps will be updated periodically and may not reflect current parcel locations or zoning designations.  If you have any questions or comments concerning the maps please contact Planning and Community Development at (248) 871-2550.
