Community Development

Planning Division

The Planning staff is responsible for all advance and current land use planning to ensure the orderly development of the community and to retain the high quality community enjoyed by all residents. This division applies local and state zoning, subdivision and other land use standards to every development in Suisun City using tools such as land use applications, environmental documentation and General Plan Amendments.

Major projects processed by the Planning Division are submitted to the Suisun City Planning Commission for consideration and approval, as required by city code, in compliance with adopted community standards and development policies.

Project review is conducted in coordination with the Public Works and Building departments.

Housing Authority

The Housing Authority implements federally funded programs that provide rental assistance to low-income households living in privately owned housing. The main program is the Section 8 Rental Assistance Voucher Program. Housing Authority staff qualifies households for the program under federal Housing and Urban Development guidelines, regularly inspects housing units for suitability and program compliance, and initializes the issuance of payment to landlords.
