Planning Department

The planning department main role in city development is making the city livable. If we have people living in houses next to a factory that runs 24 hours a day seven days a week. The home owners aren't going to get very happy are they. The planning department regulates the use of land with in the city limits for these reasons.

The planning department will not let you build a two story room addition in a single story neighborhood if it is zoned for single story houses. Some times you will be allowed to file a variance to make certain exceptions.

You will not be able to build on all of your property either. You have easements that are necessary in case of emergencies. Heavy equipment might need to get into your back yard to repair a broken pipe or electrical wire.

The planning department is your first step in finding out if you can build your room addition and how big you will be able to make it. If you live in a new tract of houses you might not be able to build a room addition on your property. Basic Building Easements

Contact your local City Hall to find out where the planning department is located. You might be able to put the city you live in in front of planning department and search the internet for some information. Example if you live in Vista California search for Vista Planning Department.
