About City Planning Tools

City Planning Tools was created to help municipalities, planners, and consultants save time and improve the quality of their work. We provide professionally designed planning and zoning document templates that can be downloaded, customized, and used immediately.

Our templates include:

• Planning Commission & BZA Staff Reports (site plan, rezoning, variance, conditional use)

• Development Application Checklists (preliminary plats, final plats, site plans)

• Zoning & Land Use Tools (ordinance outlines, review forms, compliance tables)

Each template is developed by a professional urban planner with over 25 years of municipal planning experience, ensuring they meet best practices in zoning, land use, and development review.

We know many small cities and counties have limited staff and resources, so our goal is to provide affordable, easy-to-use tools that improve consistency, save hours of work, and support better decision-making by planning commissions, boards, and elected officials.
