Planning
What We Do: The Planning division of the Community Development Department is responsible for long range and current planning issues. We provide the City Council, Planning Commission, and community with guidance and implementation of land use projects and policies, including new development or redevelopment, transportation, and housing and environmental programs in order to maintain and enhance the City’s safety, vitality, and charm. We are here to answer all your questions regarding zoning for a property, the General Plan, Planning Commission, or anything else related to planning in Brisbane.
Decision-Making Bodies: The Planning Commission is appointed by, and serves as an advisory body to, the City Council on planning and development issues. It is the primary decision making body for planning applications. The Zoning Administrator is another decision making body that hears and decides certain planning applications whose function is carried out by the Planning Director. Agendas, reports, and minutes of Planning Commission and Zoning Administrator meetings may be viewed online at www.brisbaneca.org/meetings.
Property Information: General property information, such as assessed value and recorded maps, may be obtained through the County Assessor or Recorders Offices, searchable by property address or Assessor Parcel Number (APN) on the the Countywide GIS map portal, or at their offices at 555 County Center, Redwood City. For more detailed site information, the City's files may be reviewed at the Building & Planning Counter, at City Hall, 50 Park Place.
