The Planning and Zoning Commission is a local government board responsible for recommending zoning regulations and land use policies to the city council.
Their duties typically include:
- Reviewing and approving development plans: They assess proposals for new construction, renovations, and land use changes to ensure they comply with local zoning laws and the community's comprehensive plan.
- Amending zoning regulations: They recommend changes to zoning laws to accommodate growth, economic development, and community needs.
- Advising on land use policies: They provide guidance on how land should be used to promote public health, safety, and welfare.
- Holding public hearings: They facilitate community input on planning and zoning matters to ensure transparency and public involvement.
- Coordinating with other agencies: They work with other local, state, and federal agencies to align planning efforts and ensure compliance with broader regulations.
Meetings are held once a month on the third Wednesday at 6:00 PM at Harrison City Hall.
