Planning & Community Development

Planning is the foundation of a thriving community.  It involves setting clear goals to achieve a shared vision and following through on action items that support those goals.  The Community Development Office is dedicated to providing excellent customer service to Waverly's residents and property owners, while upholding the public health, safety, and welfare of our community.

The office administers the City's Zoning Code, and is responsible for enforcing the regulations outlined in the City Code.  Our goal is to promote the most efficient use of land while ensuring that Waverly's future vision is realized. 

We oversee the development and maintenance of the Comprehensive Land Use Plan and the Future Land Use Plan, which serves as the basis of the zoning districts and land use designations within the city limits.
