The Planning and Development Committee provides oversight and policy guidance related to land use, zoning, and community growth. The committee reviews development proposals, rezoning requests, subdivision plats, and ordinance amendments to ensure they align with the municipality’s comprehensive plan and long-term vision. It also considers economic development initiatives, housing strategies, and redevelopment opportunities that support responsible and sustainable growth.
Acting in an advisory capacity to the governing body, the committee evaluates proposals, conducts public hearings, and makes recommendations that balance private development interests with the health, safety, and overall character of the community.
