| Neighborhood Planning
The Neighborhood Planning Division has five main areas of responsibility: (1) developing small area plans and planning studies; (2) coordinating and tracking plan implementation; (3) participating in citywide planning initiatives that have a neighborhood impact; (4) monitoring and reviewing development projects; and (5) acting as a liaison to elected officials and community stakeholders on land use, development, and planning issues.
OP has planners assigned to each ward of the District to work in collaboration with Advisory Neighborhood Commissions, citizen associations, and residents, businesses, elected officials, and District agencies. The division is also organized into teams of planners to capitalize on expertise, share knowledge, and provide a greater level of service to constituents. The teams are: MidCity/Waterfront (Wards 1, 2, and 6), Upper Northeast and Northwest (Wards 3, 4, and 5), and East of the River (Wards 7 and 8).
