Learn about the purpose and structure of the Commission and find all of the meeting details.
The Planning & Zoning Commission serves a unique role in the Town's government structure, as it is expressly outlined in the Town's Charter. Additionally, the Planning & Zoning Commission has certain designated powers rather than simply serving in an advisory capacity.
Council Actions/Legislative Details:
Article IX of the Keystone Town Charter gives the Town Council the authority to create and disband boards, commissions, and committees and confer upon the same such powers and duties as it deems advisable by Resolution or by Ordinance. Given this, all boards, commissions, and committees have legislative actions (resolutions or ordinances) that outline details related to their purpose, establishment, and membership.
The following are the Council Actions and Legislation that outline the details of the Planning & Zoning Commission:
Section 9.3 of the Keystone Town Charter

- Make recommendations related to the drafting and development of the Town of Keystone Land Development Code.
