The planning and zoning commission makes recommendations to the city council regarding rules and regulations, while the board of adjustment addresses special requests and exceptions to those rules. Major points of the city’s zoning policies include regulation of type of property (commercial, residential, industrial, agricultural, etc.), set-back requirements and height requirements.
