Transition to New Zoning Code: Grace Period Information

As the new zoning code took effect on December 18, 2024, the City Council established by resolution a six-month grace period. During this period, building permit applicants may choose to develop under either the new or former zoning code. The grace period will end on June 18, 2025.

  • Building Permits
    Applications submitted between December 18, 2024, and June 18, 2025, may follow the former zoning code. Building permits submitted during this grace period, but not issued by June 18, 2025, will continue to be reviewed and inspected under the former zoning ordinance until the permit process is completed.

  • Land Disturbing Permits (LDPs)
    All LDP plans submitted on or after December 18, 2024, must follow the new zoning ordinance, as no grace period applies (per City Council Resolutions 32246 and 32315). LDP applications submitted before December 18, 2024, will continue to be reviewed and inspected under the former zoning ordinance until the process is completed.
