Planning Commission

Overview

Appointed by the Board of County Commissioners, the Planning Commission serves as a citizen review board on county planning decisions. The Planning Commission is both an advisory and decision-making body. Planning Commission activities include:

  • Reviews and makes recommendations to the Board of County Commissioners on the Comprehensive Plan, town center master plans and other policy plans necessary to guide county development.
  • Makes recommendations to the Board of County Commissioners regarding zoning of land, amendments to the ordinances, the development of public structures and services, land acquisitions and other development and growth related issues.
  • Reviews and approves the recommendations for subdivision of land for residential and commercial use and proposed site plans for the future development of individual sites.

These recommendations and actions are performed in coordination with the Development Review Section and the Policy Section staff of Planning & Zoning.
