Development Planning, also known as "Current Planning" oversees the review of general plans, plats and site plan packages for development projects within both the corporate limits and the City of Sugar Land's Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (ETJ). In addition, rezoning proposals, conditional use permits and zoning variances are reviewed, coordinated by the staff, and processed through to the Planning and Zoning Commission, Zoning Board of Adjustment, and City Council as required. The staff reviews cases for ordinance compliance and communicates all technical requirements of the City's ordinances to developers and residents. Staff will be glad to answer questions regarding development processes. Please contact Gretchen Pyle, Development Review Coordinator, or Ruth Lohmer, AICP, Principal Planner for additional information.
