Planning and Zoning Commission

A Planning and Zoning Commission is a local government advisory body responsible for guiding community development. It reviews and approves proposals for new construction, land use, and zoning regulations to ensure growth aligns with community goals. The commission evaluates proposals for residential, commercial, and industrial projects, considering factors like safety, infrastructure, and environmental impact. Their decisions help shape the physical layout of the community, balancing growth with quality of life. Essentially, they serve as a regulatory and planning bridge between developers and the public, promoting organized, sustainable development.
