The Planning Commission holds public hearings and makes recommendations for final action to the Governing Body for rezoning, special use permits and preliminary development plans.

The 11-member commission, appointed by the Mayor and confirmed by the Governing Body, also considers all applications for final development plans and plats, prepares the Comprehensive Plan and reviews the Capital Improvements Program.

Planning Commission meetings generally are held at 1:30 p.m., the second Monday of every month in the Council Chamber of City Hall, 8500 Santa Fe Drive. The public is welcome.
