Overview of the Planning Commission

The Planning Commission is an advisory board to the City Council consisting of seven non-partisan seats that are filled by members of the community who are appointed by the Mayor and confirmed by the City Council. The term of service is four years.

The primary role of the Planning Commission is to prepare and review the City's Comprehensive Plan and Unified Development Regulations (DMC Title 14), along with any proposed amendments thereto, and provide recommendations to the City Council on those items, acting as policy advisors, not policymakers.  

The Planning Commission also makes recommendations to the Community & Economic Development Director regarding certain commercial signage and to the City's Hearing Examiner regarding commercial and multifamily Site Plan Review applications (acting as the City's Design Review Board).

Other responsibilities include (but are not limited to): reviewing proposed rezone requests, holding public hearings on proposed amendments, and participating on special advisory committees.
