Welcome to the St. Louis County Planning Department.  In 1996, St. Louis County Board passed a resolution creating the St. Louis County Planning Department.  Traditionally, planning departments' primary functions were the conduct of land use, planning studies and administration of zoning regulations.  The St. Louis County Planning Department began operations in November of 1996.  It is the focal point for a broad range of activities from human services to traditional land use planning.  To fulfill the charge given the Planning Department by the County Board, the Department now consists of three divisions:  the Community Development Division, the Physical Planning Division and the Planning & Research Division.
