Our Planning & Zoning Department website is designed for residents, businesses, and visitors of our city.  You will find information about who we are and how we serve our community.  Our goal is to provide information and uphold the high standards established by the Comprehensive Plan in order to maintain the quality of life Orono residents deserve.

The Planning & Zoning Staff serves Orono by providing citizens, businesses and developers with the knowledge they need in order to make informed decisions regarding their property.  A long-range plan for the City has been adopted by the City Council and serves as a guide in reviewing new development applications to ensure that City standards are met.  We hope you find these pages helpful.  If you do not find what you are looking for within, please contact the Planning & Zoning Department.

To schedule a meeting with Planning & Zoning Staff to discuss your project with regards to the City’s standards and requirements please call 952-249-4620 or e-mail: Planning@ci.orono.mn.us
