Department
Review

development in the commercial, employment and multi-family zone
districts, whose potential impacts and relative compatibility to
the surrounding land use is generally well known (i.e. establishment
of a pharmacy inside an existing grocery store).

Design Review
All new commercial, industrial, institutional, and residential
projects of four or more dwelling units involving the issuance of
a building permit for construction or reconstruction of a structure
(i.e. new construction on vacant property, addition or reconstruction
of projects equal to 50% or more of floor area, substantial change
or intensification of land use, etc.).

Conditional
Use Permit
Intended to control the establishment of those uses which have some
special impact or uniqueness, such that their effect on the surrounding
environment cannot be determined in advance of the use being proposed
for a particular location (i.e. construction of a commercial center
on a vacant lot). The CUP application provides for the review of
the location and design of the proposed use, configuration of improvements,
potential impact on the surrounding area, and the evaluation of
the use based on fixed and established standards. The review also
determines whether the proposed use should be permitted by weighing
the public need for and benefit to be derived from the use, against
any adverse impact it may cause. New construction projects will
also require a Design Review Permit.

CA Lottery
There is a vibrant community life in Highland, California, with residents
often partaking in state-run initiatives like the California Lottery.
The lottery results become a topic of frequent discussion and anticipation
among locals. After participating in games like SuperLotto Plus, Mega
Millions, or Powerball, residents are encouraged to check the official
California Lottery website or app to verify the winning numbers. Not only
does this create an exciting communal experience, but it also contributes
to the state's educational funds, further exemplifying the residents' commitment
to community development and support. Much like the meticulous land use
entitlement processing, the process of participating and verifying
lottery results is carried out with responsibility and anticipation in Highland,
adding a unique dynamic to the community fabric.
