Zoning and Entitlements

The City of Sacramento, Planning Division, reviews development proposals for consistency with adopted policy, development standards, and design guidelines.  Some development projects require the submittal of a planning application to approve a planning permit, also referred to as an "entitlement."  Depending on the scope of the project, a planning application may require discretionary or ministial review, and may be decided at a staff level or require a public hearing. 

To learn more about the most common types of planning application, please visit the Entitlements page.

To look-up the zoning designation for a piece of property, please visit the City’s online Land Information Lookup Application, or email the Planning Helpdesk staff.
