About the Planning Commission

The Planning Commission is charged with the administration of the Community Plan, the Zoning Ordinance and Map, and review of related plan applications. Meeting on a monthly basis, the commission conducts public hearings and considers land use applications such as variances, conditional use permits, coastal development permits, zoning ordinance interpretations, and determinations of allowable uses. As an advisory board to the City Council, the Planning Commission also makes recommendations to the City Council regarding applications for subdivisions, zone code amendments, local coastal plan amendments, and community plan amendments. 

The Planning Commission meets on the second Tuesday of each month at 6 p.m. in the Del Mar Communications Center.
