Planning Commission

About the Planning Commission

The Planning Commission works closely with the Planning Department staff to improve the community through sound land use and related planning policy. It acts as a citizen advisory body that informs and guides long-range and current planning policies and decisions. In certain cases, it provides recommendations to the City Council while acting of its own accord in others. The Planning Commission consists of seven members who are not elected officials or employees of the City, each appointed for four-year terms. The Commission meets on the second and fourth Monday of each month when planning business is brought before it. The City is currently accepting applications for open Planning Commission positions.

If you would like more information about the Planning Commission, please contact the Planning Department, at (541)-535-2050 Ext. 316.

Please remember that, other than Staff, the people listed below are volunteers working on behalf of our community and should only be contacted regarding matters related to their particular commission, committee, or board.

Please do not contact any members of the Planning Commission regarding a pending application.
