Planning & Zoning Commission

Planning and zoning departments and elected officials together develop, enforce, and modify land-use and zoning policies for their jurisdictions. The role of planning and zoning departments is to enforce existing land-use regulations and to provide elected officials with plans, advice, and assistance in developing, enforcing, and modifying those regulations. As an elected legislative body, the Commission adopts ordinances, and reviews and acts on applications for zone boundary changes, changes in regulations, and applications for permits, special exceptions, and subdivisions of land.
