PLANNING ADVISORY COMMISSION AND
BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT

The purpose of the Planning Advisory Commission is to hold public hearings on amendments to the Comprehensive Land Use Plan and Zoning Ordinance Amendments, review all applications for conditional use permits, interim use permits, plans for subdivision of land, and to make recommendations for approval or denial to the County Board for the unincorporated area of the County (all eleven townships.) The Board of Adjustment holds public hearings and makes decisions of variance requests. These Boards meet the second Monday of each month at 6:30 p.m.

The Planning Advisory Commission and Board of Adjustment consist of seven members – one from each Commissioner District, and two at-large members. Commission members serve one year terms with no term limit.
