City of Davis Planning Commission

The Planning Commission consists of seven appointees plus one alternate. It is responsible for determining the consistency of any project with the city’s general plan, using the criteria approved by the Davis City Council. Its members investigate issues that come before the commission and report to the City Council. It also consults with and advises public officials and agencies, public utility companies, civic, educational and other professional organizations and citizens, generally, regarding implementation of the general plan and specific plans.

This body hears matters relating to zoning regulations, including annexations, prezonings, rezonings, development agreements, final planned developments, use permits, variances, zoning interpretations and ordinance amendments. Some Planning Commission determinations are advisory to the City Council, while others are binding unless appealed.
