By state law, members of the Plan Commission must be residents of the City. All meetings of the Commission are posted on the City website and are open to the public.

Role of the Plan Commission

The Commission reviews and makes recommendations to the Board of Aldermen on all zoning requests, major development proposals, special use permits, and subdivisions. Any and all proposed amendments to the Zoning Code must be formally considered by the Plan Commission prior to the Board of Aldermen taking action. If the Plan Commission recommends against a specific petition, approval by the Board of Aldermen will require a two-thirds vote instead of a simple majority vote. Additionally, by law, the Plan Commission prepares and adopt the Comprehensive Plan for the City.
