Platting & Zoning Calendar

The City reserves the right to reschedule a case for any reason at any time. All plans and plats submitted as part of a zoning change are considered illustrations for the zoning request. Any plats and plans submitted as part of zoning require a separate application and review for platting and construction. Plats and plans must conform to zoning and can only be approved after the zoning is approved.

Comprehensive Land Use Plan

The rapid growth of Red Oak creates the need for the creation of a Comprehensive Plan and Interstate 35-E Corridor Vision. Red Oak remains in the early stages of its maturity as a City; therefore, now is the time for the community to formulate a plan to guide decision-making by City Council and City Staff. The 2010 Comprehensive Plan and Corridor Vision are intended to serve as flexible policy guides for the community and are intended to reflect the types of land uses, mobility options, neighborhood characteristics and general quality of life amenities desired by the community.

Planning & Zoning Commission

The Planning and Zoning Commission is comprised of five regular and two alternate members who act as an advisory board to City Council in regards to land use and zoning related matters. Members are appointed by the City Council for two year terms.
