Clarke County, VA
Home MenuPlanning Commission
The Planning Commission promotes the orderly development of the county through appropriate land-use designations, public services and utilities, and protection of the environmental and cultural resources. To achieve these goals, the Commission makes recommendations to the Board of Supervisors regarding the county’s Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Ordinances, Subdivision Ordinances, and other related ordinances.
Planning Commission members are appointed by the Board of Supervisors for four-year terms. Each election district is represented by two commissioners who are residents of the district. One commissioner is a member of the Board of Supervisors. A Board of Supervisors member serves as the alternate to the Board of Supervisors representative. The Board of Supervisors member serves a co-terminous term with their term of office unless a different Board of Supervisors member is selected at the Board's first meeting of the calendar year.
