The Racine Department of City Development

The Department of City Development has responsibilities in three program areas:

  • Planning and Redevelopment
  • Development Regulation
  • Block Grant Administration.

Planning and Redevelopment seeks to anticipate the changing needs of the city as they affect its physical development and to create programs to address those needs. Department staff works with the Redevelopment Authority and City Plan Commission in this program area. We currently have two special redevelopment initiatives underway: Brownfields and Commercial Corridors.

Development Regulation is the administration of the city’s development controls in such a manner as to maintain and increase property values, minimize or eliminate conflicts between neighboring land uses, and to expeditiously and fairly decide issues that come before the department. Department staff works with the City Plan Commission, Landmarks Preservation Commission, and design review committees in this program area.

Block Grant Administration is the management of the funds received by the city from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development in compliance with federal regulations and to address the city’s greatest needs. Department staff works with the Community Development Committee in this program area.
