Helping Shape the City's Future

Good planning is essential for effective communities. Every city has the responsibility to decide how to use its land and guide the form and shape the city will take in the future.

The Planning Commission is entrusted to help set land-use goals and evaluate individual project proposals to ensure that they are consistent with the City's adopted plan. Almost every decision of the Commission must strike a balance between private benefit and the overall public good.

The 7 member Planning Commission meets the fourth Thursday of each month at City Hall at 7:00 P.M. and is responsible for:

• Hold open meetings for public planning requests.
• Hold hearings on land use applications.
• Interpret the City of Bandon Comprehensive Plan and Zoning
• Ordinance to ensure conformance in land development. Advisory to the City Council.

Under ORS 244.050, all City of Bandon Planning Commissioners must file an "Annual Verified Statement of Economic Interest," and a "Quarterly Public Official Disclosure Form" with the Oregon Government Ethics Commission.
