The role of the Planning Commission

The Planning Commission provides guidance and helps shape Shoreline’s future growth. They make recommendations to the city council on various policies and plans such as the Comprehensive Plan and the zoning code. The Planning Commission is made up of seven residents or property owners and appointed by your City Council for four-year terms. Planning Commission meetings are opportunities for community members to be engaged and voice their opinions on future policy updates.
