San Carlos Planning Department
About the Planning Department. The Planning Department is responsible for three key functions: Advanced Planning, Current Planning and Land Use Regulation.
These functions can be generally described as follows:
Advanced Planning includes the preparation of all general and specific area plans and amendments.
Current Planning involves carrying out the City General Plan by reviewing proposals that affect the General Plan or initiating proposals to carry out the plan.
Land Use Regulation involves the administration of zoning and subdivision regulations. These rules are developed and administered to preserve existing land use standards and are applied to projects that are generally initiated by property owners.
