The Land Use and Natural Resources division of the Community Development Department assists the Board of Supervisors in defining the goals and policies, and implementing the programs within the general plan. This is accomplished through review of land development applications, review of county projects, and revising land development regulations.

We strives to assist land owners in achieving their goals and desires for use of their property while promoting the safety and welfare of the public, and protecting the county’s cultural assets and natural environment for the enjoyment of current and future residents.
