Planning Commission

The Planning Commission is appointed by the Board of Commissioners to actively participate in the County's planning program. The Planning Commission serves as a hearings body on land use matters, as well as reviewing and making recommendations to the Board of Commissioners on new or amended provisions of the Comprehensive Plan or Land Use and Development Ordinance.

Members represent various geographic areas of the County. The membership also represents a variety of occupations and interests. The term of appointment is four years.  The Planning Commission meets regularly. Meetings are held on the first Thursday of the month, unless otherwise scheduled.

The Planning Commission is referred to as a Hearings Body in the Ordinance.  Hearings held by the Planning Commission provide for an open public process which allows all parties to observe the land use decision making process. Decisions of the Planning Commission are appealable to the Coos County Board of Commissioners.  Legal and procedural requirements for land use applications are set forth in the state statutes and local ordinances.
