Planning & Engineering
The Planning and Engineering Department is directed by Jeremy Buchanan. The department works with area developers, land owners, citizens, and business owners to facilitate the overall progress of new construction developments as well as maintain the current infrastructure.
Planning staff also support the Planning Commission and the Board of Zoning Adjustments. A comprehensive land use plan for the City of Murray was completed in September of 2009 which lays out a long-term plan for growth in our community.
A Zoning Ordinance is in place which lays out the regulations for each of the Zoning Districts within the City of Murray. Subdivision regulations lay out the guidelines for requirements in developing a subdivision. See our forms area for quick access to commonly submitted forms and frequently requested publications.
