It sometimes seems like that the Planning Commission’s purpose is primarily to rubber stamp the work of the planning staff. When The Planners Journal broached this topic several years ago, comments from planning commissioners were often like: “sometimes it feels like the PC works for the planners,” and “the planning director just insists that we agree with him.” So who’s really in charge of what the planning commission does and what gets decided? In this session, we’ll take a closer look at what the role and responsibility of the PC is, and how that gets done – do the staff planners run the show, or is it the PC? What’s the relationship between them? Should make for some interesting discussion!
