Planning Commission
A Planning Commission by state law is charged with the responsibility of making and approving a master plan as a guide for future development of the City and making careful and comprehensive surveys and studies of present conditions and future growth of the City with due regard to its relation to neighboring jurisdictions. The Planning Commission reviews all development and re-development proposals including site plans, planned unit developments, subdivisions and special exception permits. Recommendations for street or alley vacations and zoning amendments are forwarded to the City Council for final action.
