Planning Commission Role
The Central City's Planning Commission is a six-member board appointed by the City Council for the purpose of planning and plan review. They are advisory to the City Council on all matters concerning land use and land subdivision. The Planning Commission is charged with the formulation and revision of comprehensive master plans, zoning regulations, subdivision regulations and special review use conditions. They also conduct site-specific plan reviews associated with all of the above. The Planning Commission typically makes a recommendation on a land use case which is then sent to the City Council for a final decision.
All meetings are open to the public, but if you wish to address the commission you must first give your name and address for the meeting minutes. Written comments are also accepted and can be sent to staff prior to a meeting.
