Planning and Zoning
The Planning Division seeks to preserve the past while building an enhanced future by preparing
plans which produce a quality, sustainable community. The staff works with builders and developers
to produce quality projects for our citizens. We and our citizens work together to implement the
General Plan which establishes priorities for allocation of City funds and other resources. The
planning division also puts to work federal and state funds for the betterment of our City.
What is the General Plan?
Sometimes referred to as a Master Plan, the
General Plan
of the City is a document that expresses the visions of its citizens for the management of growth
and development today and far into the future. The General Plan has its roots in much citizen
input and public participation. It describes how the city wants to grow and even what the city
should look like.
What is zoning?
Zoning is the authority given to the City of Logan by the State of Utah to regulate the use,
placement, spacing, and size of land and buildings. In short, zoning is intended to protect the
health, safety, and welfare of properties and owners from abuses by others.
