MichaelT	Best Answer A planning commission is a legally mandated group of people who draft a comprehensive plan, a zoning ordinance, and a subdivision ordinance. They also make recommendations to elected officials on proposed changes. Planning commissions have the authority to approve or deny subdivisions of land based on the subdivision control ordinance. These commissions are usually made up of private citizens with neither legislative nor administrative authority. The commission acts as an advisor to a governing body. It also advises local governmental departments and officials, public agencies, private developers, and other individuals on matters related to the community's development.
