Under the guidance of the Plan Commission, the City Planning & Zoning division is responsible for land use decisions that promote the orderly development of the City. These decisions help create a community of lasting value that offers choices to our residents and businesses. Guided by staff and supported by public engagement, planning enables civic leaders, business interests and citizens to play a meaningful role in De Pere's development. The implementation of the Comprehensive Plan is carried out in the daily activities of Staff which include the implementation of the land subdivision code (plats and Certified Survey Maps (CSM's), the Zoning Code (rezonings, site plans, development guidelines), and future land use planning (future land uses, annexations, etc.).

The Planning Division also services residents and developers within the City by managing land use requirements for proposed residential and commercial projects. Planners administer the zoning ordinance, which provides property standards as well as other land use regulations to shape development based on the Comprehensive Plan.
