Planning Division staff provide professional support to other City Departments, as well as outside entities such as Benton County, Oregon State University and Good Samaritan Regional Medical Center, in the development and monitoring of master plans.
The Planning Division maintains both paper files and electronic databases that contain information about land use case history, activities, decisions, documents, and maps. Land use records in Corvallis date back to the 1800s, primarily in the form of ordinances related to various land use regulations. The first Corvallis zoning ordinance was adopted in 1932. Land use case information available through this website includes access to the City's land use case database (Accela Automation Citizen Portal) and the City's electronic document management system (Laserfiche Weblink).
