The first few months of 2020 have been busy, with activity in most categories higher than the previous quarter. Subdivision approvals, reviewed construction plans, and permit review numbers are all on the rise, with subdivision approvals and permit review numbers even higher than when compared with 2019’s year-to-date numbers. Code enforcement activity is also on the rise, with complaints, inspections and notices of violation all having higher totals than the previous quarter. The number of maps created has also increased since the previous quarter, partially due to an increase in requests from businesses and restaurants offering delivery service for the first time due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The number of approved zone changes is down slightly, by 2. It is worth noting that two rezoning applications were unable to be heard in March due to a meeting cancellation, also a result of COVID-19. Engineering inspections are also gradually trending downward, but remain steady.
