Zoning Ordinance (Title 17 of the Oroville Municipal Code)

Division Overview

The Planning Division is responsible for two primary components: Current and Long-Range Planning.

Current Planning:

Current Planning deals with the day-to-day activities include advising the Planning Commission and City Council regarding applications for land use changes and development permits. These applications include conditional use permits, variances, subdivisions and design review. Also included in Current Planning activities are the review of building permits and other ministerial applications for Zoning Ordinance compliance, environmental review of discretionary development application and ministerial items such as second dwelling units, large family daycares, home occupations, temporary uses, and pre-applications/development review.

Each day the Planning Division receives a large number of requests for planning information from the public. In order to provide this information, the Division maintains a public counter that is staffed daily and provides telephone, mail, and e-mail response services.

Long Range Planning:

Residential and Non-Residential Development

Looking to develop your property or open a new business? The first step in a project is to find the zoning for your property. Zoning regulates what can be on your property, which uses are allowed, and the development standards to which projects must be built. To find more about the City's zoning  and ways you can find zoning information on your property, visit the Zoning Information page.
