Membership and Appointment

The Planning and Zoning Commission is composed of five members and appointed by the City Council. The City Council will consider an appointment to the Commission by someone who has demonstrated their civic interest, general knowledge of the community, independent judgment, interest in planning and zoning, and availability to prepare for and attend meetings. It is the intent of the City Council that members shall, by reason of the diversity of their individual occupations, constitute a commission broadly representative of the community.
