Planning and Community Development

The Planning & Community Development Department enhances the quality of life and manages the growth through the administration and implementation of the Comprehensive Plan, and through the continuous application of planning techniques to shape the development of residential, commercial, industrial, and institutional areas and related infrastructure, including the road network. The Department also protects and enhances the public health, safety, and general welfare, including property values, through the administration of the zoning, subdivision, and building codes, while responding to unique physical, economic, and social challenges that require planning expertise. If you have any questions or comments related to permits & inspections, zoning, code enforcement, current development, long range planning, or community development and grant programs please contact us at (740) 203-1600 or visit us in person on the second floor of City Hall at 1 South Sandusky Street, Delaware, Ohio 40315.
