Community Development

The El Mirage Community Development Department ensures responsible planning within the current and future city limits, as well as engineering and other services. It is the goal of the Community Development Department to provide quality development through quality customer service to all City of El Mirage customers.

PLANNING AND ZONING's primary function is to ensure that projects are developed to government regulations and in accordance with development agreements. Long-range planning is achieved by following the City's General Plan; as changes and goals occur, the General Plan is periodically updated with input from staff, government agencies, neighboring communities and residents. The General Plan is a blueprint for future development and its impact on future growth and quality of life.

ENGINEERING is responsible for providing in-house professional, responsive, and cost effective municipal engineering services to the citizens of El Mirage, as well as other Departments of the City. Staff efforts are focused on providing a high level of expertise for designing/planning, advising, administering, and overseeing public improvements within the city.
