Description

Planning Commissions are created under the authority enabled under Vermont State Statute 24 VSA Chapter 117 § 4325, which outlines their roles and responsibilities. This commission of citizen volunteers has the responsibility of developing, and recommending to the City Council, overall land use and development policy for the City. This typically takes two forms - first, the development of land use plans and capacity studies, and second, the development of land use regulations (subdivision bylaws, zoning regulations, etc). Final action on any plans, policies, and regulation developed by the Commission is taken by the City Council. The Planning Commission has no direct regulatory authority and does not review development proposals or issue permits. The Burlington Planning Commission is comprised of seven Burlington residents appointed by the City Council for a term of four consecutive years. The Commission meets on the first and third Tuesday of each month: Schedule for current year. More Info on position description and how to apply.
