Planning & Zoning
The Planning & Zoning Division serves a unique role in the city. Murphy is largely developed with limited vacant land available. This creates a challenging setting in which the community must carefully plan for its economic future by working closely with property owners, developers and residents to enhance Murphy’s quality of life.
The Division manages land use development by implementing the Comprehensive Plan, administering the regulations of the subdivision ordinance and zoning ordinance, as well as other plans, policies and procedures of the city. Staff provides support to City Council, the Planning & Zoning Commission and the Board of Adjustment to ensure quality development and redevelopment that is in compliance with community standards.
