OBJECTIVES: The Planning activity is responsible for the preparation, maintenance and modification of the long range general plan for the development of the City and it environs. A planning commission of five members is appointed by the mayor with the approval of the city council for four year overlapping terms. The planning commission chooses one of their members to serve as chairman to preside over meetings of the commission. The city clerk serves as the secretary for the planning commission. The planning commission is responsible to the City Council in recommending and implementing means to achieve the goals of the general plan. Certain decisions requiring judgement based upon public health, safety and welfare are the province of the commission. A planning department has been created by ordinance to prepare a master plan and perform duties necessary to carry out the instructions of the planning commission and the city council.
LEVEL OF SERVICE: The planning commission holds their meetings at 7:00 p.m. on the third Wednesday of each month. At their meetings they are expected during the year to act on approximately one major subdivision, three minor subdivisions, three rezonings, fifteen other zoning ordinance matters such as use permits and variances, the annual general plan review, and the capital improvement program recommendation.
