Planning Commission

The Planning Commission board consists of nine members. The Board of County Commissioners determine six (6) geographic areas and appoint one (1) member from each of the geographic areas. Three of the Planning Commission members are appointed at-large by the Board of County Commissioners. The term of office is for three (3) years.

The Planning Commission members are primarily concerned with land use planning. They must consider not only those factors related to an individual parcel of land, but also how the use of the land affects the surrounding area and the community as a whole.
