The Plan Commission is a 7-member body established by the City Council to review certain development projects and act on other matters. Depending on the type of the development proposal, the commission may be advisory to the City Council or have the authority to make the final decision. Two members also serve on the City Council; the remaining members are city residents.
The Development Assistance Group (DAG) is a staff-level committee that meets with developers, architects, engineers, and other interested parties who want early feedback on a potential development proposal. Staff represent the Planning Division, Building Division, Engineering Division, and the fire department.
Planning staff provides technical support to the City Council, Plan Commission, Historic Commission, Zoning Board of Appeals, developers, neighbors, and other interested parties to facilitate the development review process.
