FUNCTION:
The Commission’s primary function is the preparation, adoption, and maintenance of long-term comprehensive land use plans to guide the future development of Lawrence and Douglas County. Another function of the Planning Commission is to study the appropriate zoning ordinances and subdivision regulations and to make recommendations to the City Commission and Board of County Commissioners concerning amendments both to the text and districts. Kansas planning laws also authorize the Planning Commission to recommend development plans for public facilities, capital improvements, urban renewal, environmental sanitation, and area beautification. The Planning Commission also acts as the City’s Metropolitan Planning Organization which allows the City to apply for transportation program monies.
