LaND Use in Larkspur

Here’s the scoop: The City of Bend keeps the Neighborhood Association informed of any significant potential land use activity in our Neighborhood and adjacent Neighborhoods. We also seek to make sure that you, as neighbors, have an opportunity to know what is happening with land development before you see construction begin. The simplest way to access the details on land use activity on any property in Bend is through the City of Bend’s interactive map. This link allows one to either zoom in on the map to find a particular property, or enter the property’s address, or enter a project number. All documentation related to land use projects is now available online.

So… how does the land use process work? How does a property go from bare ground to getting developed? The Land Use Education page is a good place to start to learn about the process. 

Want to learn more about zoning? Here’s an interactive tool that explains what different types of zoning are in the City and where they are located.

Want to see what the zoning is for a particular lot or area? There is an interactive map that lets you explore the zoning for any property.
