The Planning Commission is made up of five members of the public, appointed by the Board of Supervisors, who review matters related to planning and development. They come to the Commission with a public-spirited enthusiasm for community planning and a concern for the future of their County. The Commission holds public hearings on the 1st Wednesday of every month to consider land use matters. These include such items as re-zonings, use permits, boundary adjustments and subdivisions. Because the Commission focuses on planning issues, it is a valuable intermediary between the public and the County Board of Supervisors
