Planning & Zoning Software
Manage planning applications from intake to final decision
Planning and zoning departments manage complex, multi-step applications under legislated timelines with limited staff and no margin for missed deadlines. CityView Planning & Zoning software gives municipalities a structured system to track every application, automate approval workflows and meet mandated milestones without relying on manual coordination.
The software handles all planning and zoning application types, including development applications. Staff can route approvals, schedule and record hearings, generate neighborhood notifications through GIS integration and monitor conditions through the full life cycle of each project.
“Staff are using CityView’s capabilities to power a level of business intelligence and efficiency that has never existed before.”
How CityView supports planning and zoning workflows
Hit project milestones with defined workflows
- Planning and zoning projects follow jurisdiction-specific guidelines configured in the system. CityView auto-generates approval tracks, critical milestone dates and submittal requirements based on application type.
- A built-in scheduling tool lets staff control agenda items reviewed at each meeting, generate neighborhood notifications from a map selection, track departmental review workflows and produce staff reports.
- Rule-enforced workflows and real-time status reports show where each project stands, including actual time spent on review, not just start and end dates.
Manage plans in a paperless review process
- CityView combines electronic submission, versioning and workflow management with Bluebeam® for electronic plan review, markup management and online collaboration, replacing paper-based review cycles.
Access spatial data within each planning application
- Staff can view land use, zoning and demographic data tied to a specific plan and make decisions based on current spatial information. Maps built on Esri ArcGIS Server technology are embedded directly in CityView.
Build an audit-ready record for every project
- Every planning and zoning project builds a permanent, organized record that includes site plans, digital photos, aerial photos and all relevant documents. System-generated correspondence is automatically added to the project file.
