The Current Planning Division is responsible for development review, zoning administration, and mapping and graphics.
We’re the people to call if you have questions about:

- What regulations apply to that district (permitted uses, setbacks, height limits, etc)
- If there are any special overlay districts that may apply to a property
- Subdividing a property or joining two properties together
- The sign regulations for Champaign
- The Historic Preservation regulations of the Zoning Ordinance.
- Anything regarding annexation
