About Reviewers
The following are involved in the review of this type of application.

The City Council is the governing body of the City of Janesville and is responsible for making decisions on local policies, budgets, and ordinances. The council also reviews certain types of development projects. The council consists of 7 members who are elected to two-year, overlapping terms.

The Development Assistance Group (DAG) is a staff-level committee that meets with developers, architects, engineers, and other interested parties who want early feedback on a potential development proposal. Staff represent the Planning Division, Building Division, Engineering Division, and the fire department.

Planning staff provides technical support to the City Council, Plan Commission, Historic Commission, Zoning Board of Appeals, developers, neighbors, and other interested parties to facilitate the development review process.
