On June 23, 2010 the City of Gainesville was one of five local governments to receive a Planning Excellence Award from the Florida Department of Community Affairs (DCA). The award was for Land Use and Transportation Planning related to the City’s Transportation Concurrency Exception Area Comprehensive Plan amendment package. The amendment package was adopted by the City in December 2009.

DCA Secretary Tom Pelham presented the award to City Planning staff at an awards luncheon held in Orlando, Florida as part of the Department of Community Affairs 2010 Growth Management Implementation Workshop. In presenting the award, the Department of Community Affairs praised the City’s policies that connect land use and transportation strategies to promote and fund mobility in Gainesville.

Now available on the internet!
All projects for the Planning Department are stored in a database that is accessible through the internet portal. This is made possible through the Innoprise program, a project management and permitting system offered by a third-party software company. Applications such as zoning compliance permits, development review, special use permits, and land use and zoning change requests can be found in this database.

The Planning Department began using this system in 2009. Some historical projects have been added to the database but have limited information available in the database. If you have any questions about this program or how to use it, please contact us at (352)334-5023.
