Welcome to the Planning Division. It is our goal to provide City residents with quality services.  We provide a wide range of services, which guide development and implementation of the City's urban development policies. These services include ongoing activities such as development review and the preparation and maintenance of the City's comprehensive master plan elements, and one-time activities, which involve policy planning and analysis, special projects planning and other mid-and long-range plans. We invite you to explore our website, which we are continually making improvements to, and adding new elements. If you would like to see an added feature, or would like to provide feedback, please write us at planning@cityofmadison.com.
