Community Development

Land Use Planning, Permitting and Code Compliance

Community Development prepares, updates and implements land use plans and development regulations, including the Tribal Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Code (Ordinance No. 80). Community Development processes permits and land use applications, including building and grading permits, subdivisions, rezones, variances, lot line adjustments and conditional use permits and ensures compliance with the Zoning and Building Codes and permit conditions. Community Development collaborates with other Tribal departments on shoreline, environmental and natural resource lands planning issues affecting the Reservation. Community Development provides staff support to the Tulalip Planning Commission. We also monitor and respond to development proposals and proposed plans and regulations affecting the Reservation that are initiated under the jurisdiction of state, local and federal agencies.
