The Planning Commission is a board of seven members appointed by the Board of County Commissioners of Washington County.  The board consists of six members appointed from the general public and one member who also serves on the BOCC.  This member usually serves as an ex-officio participant.

The Commission is charged with reviewing and approving subdivision plats, forest conservation plans, site plans, and development plans.  The Commission also acts in an advisory capacity to the BOCC on items such as rezoning requests, ordinance text amendments, and adoption of County Ordinances.  Another key responsibility of the Commission is the development of the Comprehensive Plan for the County.  This document is updated on a six year cycle and acts as a basis for long and short term planning goals.

The Planning Commission meets the first Monday of every month at 7:00pm in the Administrative Annex Building, Conference Room 1A.  ** Please note that meeting dates, times, and locations are subject to change and may occur on short notice.  You may contact the Planning Department to confirm the date, time and location of each meeting.
