The Planning Department works with citizens and community leaders to build a consensus on how the City should grow, both in the short and long term. This is accomplished by creating a vision for the future of the City of Sherwood and reviewing all new development proposals to ensure they reflect this vision. 

The Planning Department facilitates all development review in Sherwood, such as re-zones, conditional use permits, preliminary subdivisions and site plan applications. The Department provides staff support to the City Council and Planning Commission regarding current and long range planning.  The Planning Department is part of the Community Development Department that houses the Planning, Engineering and Building Departments.  See the contact information to the right or click on a specific project for the staff member.
