These land use matters include rezoning requests, ordinance revisions, approving plats, comprehensive planning, tree preservation, sign variances, and other issues regarding new growth and existing development in the Town and extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ).

The Planning & Zoning Commission is comprised of seven members and two alternates appointed by the Town Council. Commission members serve three-year staggered terms.

Applications of individuals not chosen for a position on the Board, Commission, or Panel are kept on file for one year in the event a vacancy occurs in one of the panels.
