Planning Division

What We Do

City Planning includes:

  • Develop long-range plans that will provide vision and goals for the future development in the City and the Urban Growth Area (UGA), 
  • Create and implement the City's Zoning Ordinance to ensure that minimum development standards are met,
  • Create and implement the Subdivision Code to ensure the division of land is carried out in a way to ensure adequate sized lots for development and access to the property are met, and
  • Protecting historically important neighborhoods and sites in Centralia for existing and future citizens.
