The Planning Department manages current and long-range planning activities in the City of Veneta. Current planning involves the implementation of adopted land use plans, policies and development regulations through a review of specific land use and development applications. Development review includes re-zones, tree permits, conditional use permits, preliminary subdivisions, final plats, and site plan applications. Long-range planning involves planning for future growth, development, and conservation within the City through the development and adoption of the Veneta Comprehensive Plan and development regulations contained in City Ordinances. The City's Comprehensive Plan, Land Development Ordinance, and Land Division Ordinance provide the guidelines and criteria upon which the City Planner and the Planning Commission base their decisions.
