City Planning Department Wants to Hear from You!
City Planning staff is always interested in hearing your thoughts on our city!
You can help us shape the future of Cleveland by sharing your experiences and ideas for your neighborhood. Your input directly informs how Cleveland plans, invests, and grows.
Overview
The City Planning Commission, established in 1915 (as the "City Plan Commission"), is a body of seven members, six are appointed by the Mayor and one is a member of City Council. The Commission is supported by a staff of professional planners and architects. The City Charter gives the Commission responsibility for preparing plans to guide "development and improvement" of the city and its neighborhoods, and for reviewing all legislation and other matters that concern the "use or development of land.”
The City Planning Commission is charged with planning for a future where the City of Cleveland is a thriving urban community, resilient in the face of changing regional, national, and global conditions.
Our mission is to advocate for the preservation and establishment of prosperous communities that are authentic and diverse, providing equitable access to the resources necessary for both current and future generations of residents to thrive.
We accomplish this by:
- Enhancing both physical development and the built environment
- Preserving the City’s history through districts that are architecturally and culturally significant
- Creating places for people that are healthy, sustainable, and vibrant
What We Do
- Neighborhood & District Plans
- Comprehensive Citywide & Downtown Plans
- Zoning Map & Code Amendments, Zoning Variance Review
- Architectural Design Review
- Streetscape and Other Public Improvement Planning
- Transportation Planning
- Subdivisions, Lot Splits & Consolidations
Design Review Approval Process
Design Review is an approval process intended to protect and enhance the neighborhoods within each of Cleveland’s six Regions. Each region has a Design Review Advisory Committee (DRAC) to review local projects and make design recommendations. Some projects also require review and approval from the City Planning Commission (CPC) before project implementation.
A licensed City Planner is assigned to each Region to advise project applicants on design guidelines and requirements and administer DRAC meetings. The six DRACs and CPC each have 6-12 design professionals and community representatives.
