The Planning Commission acts in an advisory capacity to the City Council and strives to preserve  and enhance the City’s unique character by reviewing and regulating developmental proposals and by periodically updating the General Plan. The Commission also reviews and approves requests for other planning permits including zone changes, variances, neighborhood compatibility and precise plans of design for residential remodels, new residential and commercial development.

Upon recommendation of the Mayor and appointment by the Council, seven residents of the City serve as volunteers on the Planning each commission. In all cases, their actions are subject to review and final approval by the City Council. Each year, the City Council may appoint new Commissioners if a vacancy exists.
