Going one further, though, most cities had some sort of plan when it was incorporatedÂ
I actually chair our city's zoning board. It definitely doesn't get much attention, we only meet when we have to, and the only people that show up are the board members, staff, applicants, and neighbors if it is a contentious case. You definitely learn a ton about what is going on in the city, though, if you pay attention to planning and zoning.
