Planning, Zoning, and Building Department
Mission Statement
"We will create the ultimate model of Tribal planning and development by utilizing the highest quality professional practices. We will formulate processes that involve the Tribal community by promoting community out-reach, consensus and inter-governmental alliances.
We will utilize our resources to gather planning data that is relevant, highly accurate and useable. We will employ dedicated planning professionals who will use their skills to provide comprehensive and strategic planning that anticipates the needs and visions of the Tribe. We will maintain the support of Tribal leadership by providing trustworthy and reliable plans and recommendations."
The Planning Department has 3 main areas of responsibility: Planning, which includes land use, transportation, facility development, and other types of planning along with computer mapping (GIS); Zoning, which includes administering the LTBB Zoning Ordinance; and Building, which includes administering the LTBB Building Codes, as well as the construction development process for Tribal projects like the new Administration Center on Hathaway Road.
This year the main emphasis has been on developing the Hathaway Road property. After a long planning and design period, the LTBB Administration Complex is finally becoming a reality. It is expected that we will move in to this facility by the end of summer, 2002.
The Planning Department also provides staff to the Economic Development Commission.
