The Director of the Planning Department is responsible for the administration of the Flood Zone Regulations. All proposed commercial, industrial, institutional, and multi-family residential development requires the submittal of a site plan. The plan is reviewed by the Planning Department staff and the City Engineer for compliance with the Zoning Regulations. Upon satisfactory review the Building Inspector is authorized by the Director to issue a building permit provided the Building Inspector determines the building plans are in compliance with Building Code. Residential and non-residential subdivision must be approved by the Jasper Planning and Zoning Commission.
Compliance includes the submittal and approval of the preliminary and final plat.
The Planning Department, in conjunction with the Planning and Zoning Commission, is developing a long-term comprehensive plan for the City. Thank you very much for your interest in this department and our City. Informational zoning and sub-development packages are available free of charge upon request. Please feel free to contact either myself or my staff should you have any questions.
