Plan Commission

Plan Commission Overview

The Plan Commission is composed of ten members (the Mayor, 2 aldermen, a member of the School Board and 5 citizen commissioners).  The Plan Commission reviews development proposals and makes recommendations to the Common Council on such items as rezonings, conditional use permits and amendments to the City’s Official Maps.  The Plan Commission is also charged with the responsibility for reviewing site and architectural plans for proposed developments.  This process is not required in the A-1 Limited Agricultural District, the ER, Rs-1, Rs-2, Rs-3, Rs-4, and Rd-1 Residential Districts, unless the development site contains wetlands or woodlands.

Plan Commission Meetings

The Plan Commission meets on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of every month at 7:00 PM in the Council Chambers at City Hall, 8640 S. Howell Avenue.  Applications for Plan Commission items are due a minimum ten (10) working days prior to the next meeting date.  However, applications will not be placed on the agenda until all items are submitted and all staff concerns are addressed.  At the meeting staff will make a brief presentation on your proposal after which you will have an opportunity to address the commission to provide additional information or answer any questions.
