The Commission is comprised of five volunteer citizens of Pembroke who are appointed by the City Council. Individuals or businesses must submit applications to the Planning and Zoning Commission if they desire to change the zoning of their property, apply for a variance or to receive a conditional use permit such as to operate a home office in their residence. The board members follow the procedures set forth by the state of Georgia for a public hearing for the application. The members, receiving all the needed information and studying the issue using the ordinances adopted by the city, make a recommendation to the City Council. The City Council then makes the final decision on application.
