The Planning Commission reviews and offers recommendations to the Town Council on land-use decisions, zoning, the General Plan, and the Development Code. The Parks and Recreation Commission meets on the second Tuesday of each month and acts in an advisory capacity to the Town Council in matters pertaining to the planning of public recreation and the development of open space, parks, playgrounds, playfields and recreational facilities. The Commission also reviews programming related to community-wide leisure services, museum, events and special projects.
