Planning and Zoning Commission

Are you interested in land use issues in Dover? Do you have feelings and thoughts about what Dover looks like now, and what you want it to look like in the future? Do you want to share your ideas with others?

The Dover Planning Commissioners invite you and your friends to come to the Planning & Zoning Commission and share your thoughts and opinions. Because speakers not listed on the agenda have limited speaking time, we encourage you to call 265-8339 to be placed on the agenda to present your ideas.

The Commission is currently reviewing the city's Comprehensive Plan for the physical development of the City as part of the state-mandated Periodic Review Process. The Commission recommends to the City Council the adoption, amendment, extension, addition to, and maintenance of the Comprehensive Plan as well as provides discretionary reviews and makes recommendations to the Council as provided by the Municipal Code over the subdivision of land, zoning and land use. They are the hearing board for applicants for zoning changes, special use permits and variances.
