Mission Statement:
The mission of the Planning, Construction Services and Facilities Maintenance Departments is to protect the Reservation’s natural and man-made environment, its economic base, and its identifiable communities by providing timely and accurate planning, construction services and facilities maintenance.  The core values of the department include teamwork, professionalism, problem-solving, integrity, innovation and creativity. 


Services:

The Planning Department is responsible for preparation of the General Plan. The General Plan is an expression of what the community wants to look like now and 30 years into the future.  It is a statement of goals, a listing of objectives, and a vision of what might be.  The General Plan serves as a guide to decision-making; it guides and influences decisions which shape the future of the Reservation.  Planning staff provides written reports and recommendations to the Planning Commission and Tribal Council relative to land use and development matters. 

The Planning Department serves as the ‘clearing house’ for all requests for government-to-government consultation between the Tribe and local governments with regard to projects and activities throughout Riverside and San Bernardino Counties that may impact culturally or historically sensitive sites.  The Planning Department also monitors the activities of local cities, county and state agencies as they may affect the Tribe. 

The Planning Department sits in an advisory capacity to the Planning Commission regarding land use and economic development proposals submitted by potential business and investment partners. Planning also assists the Environmental Department with the environmental review of all tribal projects.
