Planning Department

The Planning Department is responsible for overseeing all Township Planning, including the creation and implementation of the Master Plan and Zoning Ordinance as well as all Land Use reviews, approvals, and enforcement. Staff members provide professional assistance and technical reviews for all private developments throughout the Township.

Have a question about zoning and how it effects your property or an upcoming project on your home? Contact Planning Staff

The Township encourages homeowners and residents to contact staff regarding any questions before submitting a Building Permit Application. A staff member can provide an informal review of a site plan and any construction drawings to identify concerns regarding things such as setbacks, height, roof slope, and more. This informal review can help make the Building Permit process quicker and easier. 

Interested in getting started? Email a site plan or construction drawings to hhill@cascadetwp.com or come visit our office at 5920 Tahoe Drive SE.

Have a proposed commercial, industrial, or large-scale residential project? Schedule a Pre-Application Meeting

The Township encourages a scheduled pre-application meeting with Township staff before submitting a formal application. These informal meetings provide an opportunity to discuss the proposed project, review applicable zoning and planning requirements, identify the appropriate review process, and clarify next steps before an application is submitted.

Interested in getting started? Submit this Pre-Application Conference form to ngovan@casadetwp.com with the following documents:

•           A written description of the proposed project

•           A conceptual plan showing the location, layout, and primary elements of the project

•           Any specific uses, location of uses, and densities proposed

•           Proposed construction phasing, if applicable

•           Proposed location of any public improvements, if applicable

After all required documents are received, the Planning Director will schedule a Pre-Application conference and will provide the time and location of the meeting.
