Under the City’s Development Code, small projects (minor development permits) in designated scenic corridors and special overlay zones of the City are reviewed at a public hearing where the Community Development Director serves as the hearing officer. Minor development permits are required for residential accessory structures, including decks, fences, walls, gazebos and patio covers, ground floor additions to single-family homes, additions above the ground floor not exceeding two hundred (200) square feet, certain signs and tennis courts. Additionally, the keeping of large farm animals (cows, horses, etc.), and hobby farms anywhere in the City require a minor development permit as well.
