Planning & Zoning Commission
Eight members are appointed by the Board of Supervisors, with the Zoning Director serving as administrative secretary. Members may be removed by vote of the Board of Supervisors after investigating a need for this action. Any matter coming before the commission requires a majority vote to pass, and the chairman, elected by the members may also cast a vote. Duties include development of county a zoning ordinance, and sub-division ordinances, in concurrence with the Board of Supervisors and the County Engineer. Also, the commission has enforcement responsibilities for the ordinances with regard to any changes within the county’s zoning and recommendations of subdivisions within these ordinances. All recommendations made by the commission are then presented the Board of Supervisors for final disposition.
