Planning Commission Duties
The Planning Commission is a seven
(7) member volunteer board that is appointed by the Board
of County Commissioners. Planning Commission appointments
are six (6) year terms. The Planning Commission normally
consists of a wide range of citizens from different sections
(Planning Districts are designated on a map in the Planning
Department) Click Here to View Planning District Map of the
County who represent the general values of the community
in land use decision making. The Planning Commission is not
a "final" decision
making committee but rather makes "recommendations" to
the elected officials for the different applications they
review. The various applications the Planning Commission
will review includes: Conditional Use Permits, Variances,
Rezones, Subdivisions, Shoreline Permits, Zoning and Subdivision
Text/Map Amendments, and Comprehensive Plan Amendments.
As in most other Counties and Cities across the State of
Washington, Franklin County has a professional planning staff
which brings technical expertise and knowledge to the land
use process and assists the Planning Commission members as
they review plans and projects. Prior to each meeting, Staff
will visit each agenda site and develop a Staff Report for
the Planning Commission to review. This Report normally describes
the project, the applicable law(s) and provides a list of
comments from the County's Technical Agency's.
