Planning and Zoning Commission

The Planning and Zoning Commission (P & Z) is charged with making recommendations to the city council regarding plans for the physical development of the city, and for its approval of all plats and replats. The P & Z provides input to a comprehensive plan, which serves as a framework for the land use regulatory process. The commission also advises city council on zoning goals and regulations.

The P & Z consists of five members who are appointed by city council for three year terms. They must be resident citizens and qualified voters of the city. The August meeting is the official annual meeting for the P & Z Commission. The annual meeting is when the commission elects their officers for the year. The P & Z Commission meets on the third Tuesday of each month at 7:00pm at city hall.
