The City Planning Division helps Olathe identify and achieve its desired future. The Division focuses on:

  • Growth and its impacts on the physical character of the community
  • Achieving the community's vision through implementation of the City’s Comprehensive Plan, PlanOlathe

 This work includes both a future-oriented, long-range planning component and a current planning component that reviews specific proposals for development.

Current Planning
Planners review development projects and make recommendations to the Planning Commission. Staff also provides information to the public about land use issues.

Long Range Planning
Planners implement the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan, process annexation requests and create and maintain development, demographic and community profile information.

The responsibilities of Neighborhood Planning include fostering neighborhood alliances, preserving and enhancing developed neighborhoods, empowering neighbors and partnering with residents for the improvement of their area.
