The Planning & Development Department ensures that Stanton grows in a way that’s smart, sustainable, and aligned with community values. We support residents, builders, and developers by managing zoning, land use, and infrastructure planning — all while preparing for the opportunities created by BlueOval City and our expanding population.
Our Responsibilities Include:
- Reviewing Development Proposals
We examine rezoning requests, site plans, and subdivision plats to ensure compliance with the Town’s Zoning Ordinance and Subdivision Regulations.
- Advising on Land Use Policy
We make recommendations to the Board of Mayor and Aldermen on zoning amendments and long-term community planning initiatives.
- Ensuring Public Participation
We hold public hearings, giving residents the opportunity to provide input on proposed developments and policy changes.
- Promoting Sustainable Growth
We strive to balance economic growth with environmental stewardship, infrastructure capacity, and quality of life.
- Overseeing Subdivision Regulations
We adopt and enforce regulations that ensure safe, functional, and well-designed neighborhoods.
Why Planning and Zoning Matters
The planning process is how the Town of Stanton makes thoughtful decisions about land use, development, and infrastructure. Zoning helps ensure that different types of buildings and uses — homes, businesses, industries, and public spaces — are placed in appropriate areas so they support safety, quality of life, and long-term growth.
For residents, zoning protects neighborhoods from incompatible development and preserves community character.
For developers and property owners, zoning provides a clear framework for what can be built and where — helping streamline investments, permitting, and site planning.
