There are two Letters of Regulatory Compliance provided by the Planning Department:

1. Zoning Verification Letter

   Indicates to a property owner that a specified use (clearly identified in the application) is permitted within the Zoning District. A Zoning Verification Letter does not authorize the property owner to proceed with a development nor does it include a determination that a tract of land may be developed. This document is provided by the City to confirm the zoning designation of a property, when that zoning was assigned, and list any special zoning overlays applicable to that property. If requested, the letter can indicate whether one particular use is allowed by the assigned zoning district. Please note a Zoning Verification Letter does not verify conformance or nonconformance of existing structures or uses on site, compliance with parking regulations, issuance of Certificate of Occupancy, or existence of code enforcement violations.

2. Plat Certification Letter

   A document provided by the City acknowledging whether a plat is required for the tract of land or proposed division of land, or whether an exemption to platting under the UDC applies. A legal or lawful division of land is one that was done in compliance with, or prior to, applicable subdivision regulations. A parcel boundary used for property taxation or conveyed by deed to transfer ownership or title is not necessarily indicative of a lawfully created division of land. The Plat Certification process does not make claims as to ownership, title or boundary locations.
