Planning and Zoning Commissions
Planning and Zoning Commissions are local government bodies responsible for managing land use and development in a community. They create zoning laws that dictate how land can be used, such as residential, commercial, or industrial purposes. These commissions review proposals for new developments or changes to existing properties, ensuring they align with community goals and regulations. Their work helps to balance growth with environmental and community concerns, facilitating organized and sustainable development. Public meetings allow residents to voice their opinions, making the process more inclusive and accountable.
