The Planning & Zoning Division handles review of all land use projects within the City of Prescott. We do so by following the Land Development Code as well as the City’s adopted General Plan. We also provide staff support to Planning & Zoning Commission, Board of Adjustment & Prescott Preservation Commission.
The General Plan is the public document that guides future land use decisions. Zoning, re-zoning and new developments must be consistent with, and conform to, the City’s adopted General Plan.
Prescott has a comprehensive Land Development Code that prescribes permissible and restricted land uses for all properties. It also defines design, dimensional, density and parking standards in order to regulate development.
