About the Planning Commission

The Planning Commission is a 21-member advisory body made up of citizen volunteers appointed by the Mayor and approved by the City Council. The Commission and its sub-committees (Zoning Committee, Comprehensive and Neighborhood Planning Committee, and Transportation Committee) take on municipal planning issues as required by law. It reviews and makes recommendations on comprehensive planning and zoning issues, studies, and amendments. The Planning Commission also holds public hearings where members of the public can be heard.

Note: The Neighborhood Planning Committee was merged with the Comprehensive Planning Committee in 2018. Archives of meeting agendas and materials can be found here.
