The responsibility of the Planning Commission is to recommend appropriate actions on community planning issues, such as formulating and adopting a comprehensive plan; adopting a capital improvement program; subdivision regulations; and building codes and zoning regulations to the Mayor and Council.  The Planning Commission also makes recommendations on platting, zoning, and other land use applications.

Meetings are held on the 3rd Thursday of every month, with some exceptions. See the Planning Department Review Schedule for official dates. Note that they are subject to change.
