The Zoning and Code
Enforcement Division is responsible for the enforcement of the
Zoning Ordinance and of those parts of the City Code that relate
to property, including the blight ordinance and the noxious weed
ordinance. The Building Division and the Zoning Division work
cooperatively to remove dangerous buildings and to upgrade the
neighborhoods and housing stock in the City by responding to
resident’s complaints. The Zoning Division conducts inspections
and contacts residents and business owners in an effort to obtain
compliance. If necessary, the Zoning Division brings the violators
to court for a hearing before a magistrate or a judge. Zoning is
also responsible for plan review of temporary signs, and accessory
structures under 200 square feet. The division also provides staff
support for the Zoning Board of Appeals.
For additional information contact the Zoning Division at (248)
