LAND USE
The Land Use Program is truly the application of the vision of tomorrow to the projects of today. Long-term and general planning by various departments chart the course for land use projects. Environmental Health works in conjunction with several other regulatory and planning agencies, such as Planning and Development Department; Public Works Department, Flood Control; County Fire Department, for land use project review. Environmental Health Services’ component of this process is to look for the following: adequate potable water supply; proper sewage disposal; animal waste management; and vector control. Fees are collected based upon the specific project category (e.g. Conditional Use Permit, Lot Line Adjustment, etc.) as determined by the Planning and Development Department.
