The Fayette County Planning Commission is a body comprised of five members who are appointed to three-year terms. The Planning Commission hears and makes recommendations concerning amendments to the zoning ordinance, including the rezoning of property and the comprehensive plan. The Planning Commission also approves preliminary plats, final plats, and minor subdivision plats, and hears variances on subdivision regulations, floodplain regulations, and watershed protection regulations.
