Growth FAQ - Planning & Zoning

What is a Land Use Compliance Certificate (LUCC)?

The first step in the development process is to determine if your project, at the proposed location, is an allowable use under the terms of the Zoning Code. To do this, you must apply for a LUCC. Your application must show where, what, and how much you intend to build and what you intend to do with the finished project. The Growth Management Department will compare your proposed project with the land development standards for the property in question and determine if your project is allowable. The LUCC will specify what subsequent approvals your project must obtain. You may file an application through the City's permit portal.
