PLANNING AND ZONING DIVISION

Whether you plan to build new or remodel, open a business in the City, seek information on current projects or answers regarding the development process; Planning and Zoning Division staff should be contacted first. In addition to providing information, review and approval of development plans in accordance with City zoning and development guidelines, the Division also chairs the Architectural Review Board (ARB) and Development Review Committee.

 

Planning and Zoning Division staff, together with its environmental consultants, prepare reports and detailed analysis for projects subject to discretionary review and approval by the Compton Planning Commission. Projects include planned unit developments, variances, conditional use permits, and subdivisions. The Planning and Zoning Division also facilitates updates to the General Plan and amendments to the Zoning Code, conducts research in preparation of planning studies and environmental assessments to address the future use of land and lifestyle issues.
