Paul Andrus - Community Development Director
The Community Development Department is made up of four divisions: Planning, Building Safety, Housing and Administration, with each having a vital role in the Department's mission to ensure
well planned development and
high quality construction practices in order to promote economic vitality and achieve the highest possible quality of life for the residents of Los Alamos.
The Department’s main goal is to provide consistent, timely, and solution-oriented land use planning, building permitting and inspection processes and housing policy and program development with the highest level of customer service in mind. Although many of the primary functions of the Community Development Department are essentially regulatory in nature, staff work with our customer base in a proactive manner, encouraging homeowners, businesses, developers, design professionals, and contractors to engage with them on their projects as early in the process as needed in an effort to provide the necessary education and technical expertise that will help to expedite the review process and ultimately result in a better overall experience for the customer and outcomes for the Community.
