Planning & Zoning » Frequently Asked Questions« All Departments

QCan I place a for sale or other type of sign at the intersection down the street?
ANo, signs are not allowed in the right-of-way or on utility poles. Only on-premise signs are allowed with a permit. This regulation prevents safety hazards associated with temporary signs obstructing vision at intersections. This can cause unnecessary traffic accidents. In addition, these signs are unsightly and have a negative effect on the appearance of our community.

QI want to construct a fence in my yard. Do I need a permit and is there a maximum fence height?
A

Yes, you will need a zoning permit from the planning department. Fences are limited to a height of three (3) feet between the right-of-way and the normal building line. Other areas are limited to height of eight (8) feet.


QDo I need a development permit to place or construct a utility building on my property?
A

Yes, a development permit is required to protect the interest of you and your neighbors. The planning staff can assist you determining the appropriate place for your utility (accessory) building.


QCan I store business-related trucks on my residential property?
AYou may have no more than one truck up to one-ton size. Other commercial vehicle equipment storage is not allowed in residential zones.
