Zoning is a classification assigned to a particular set of land uses. The zoning of your property can be found using our Property Information Portal or our Zoning Map. Once you find the zone of your property, you can find what uses are allowed and the development standards (i.e., height, setbacks, parking) for that zone in the City's Zoning Ordinance.
Find out what you need before you start your development project and what services they can offer you to ensure your project is successful and compliant with City codes.
After talking with staff at the PSC, you may need to submit a planning application, for things such as design review, or to get an exception to the Zoning Code. See our step by step instructions to help you through the process.
If you are replacing windows in your home or business, you need a permit from the City of Glendale Building and Safety Department. The only time you don't need a permit is when you are just replacing the glass in an existing window. See Draft Window Replacement Guidelines
You can see if your property is designated as historic, if it is part of a historic district, and how to designate it as historic.
See Maps that provide information about annexations, hillside slopes, homeowner associations, hazards, ridgelines, and special setbacks.
Development projects that require certain planning applications, design or historic preservation review may be considered at a public hearing/meeting by one of our Board and Commissions:
- Design Review Board
- Planning Commission
- Historic Preservation Commission
For more information about each Board please see
