Community Development Department Mission

The mission of the City of Irvine Community Development Department is to provide thoughtful and efficient long-term planning and ongoing project review to ensure consistency with the General Plan, Zoning Ordinance, and Building Codes. Our team is focused on delivering a top-quality customer experience to the community through innovation and responsiveness, with integrity, flexibility, and professionalism.

Community Development Department Customer Experience Survey

The City of Irvine is committed to supporting a thriving business community. To improve our business license, entitlement, and permitting services, we have launched a customer experience survey.

Conducted by independent firm BW Research, the survey was sent to about 15,000 businesses that interacted with the Community Development Department in 2024.

If you receive it, please take a few moments to share your feedback. Your input is vital to helping us enhance our services.
