The Planning and Community Development Department mission is to protect and advance the quality of life by applying sound land use planning principles, development standards, and building codes.  We aim to facilitate informed land use decisions through community participation and collaborative processes.  The department strives to protect and enhance safe, livable neighborhoods that reflect and preserve East Point’s unique cultural and historic character.  It is also the departments mission to support and encourage healthy reinvestment in the community to provide for a strong local economy.
