Municipal Planning Commission

What Is the Municipal Planning Commission?

The Municipal Planning Commission (MPC) is a committee of Council where Council has delegated some or all of its decision-making authority, as established by separate bylaw under s. 623 and s. 625 of the MGA, to make subdivision and development decisions on behalf of the Town.. It applies the Town's Land-use Bylaw to development projects, helping guide how the community grows over time. MPC typically handles things like subdivision applications, discretionary development permits, and variances. The meetings of the commission also provides a public forum where applicants and residents effected by developments can share input to ensure all perspectives are considered for new development.

Who are members of the Commission?

The Commission is made up of three Town Councilors and two Citizens at Large.

Where and When does MPC meet?

The Commission typically meets in the Town Hall council chamber at 6:00 p.m. on the first Wednesday of each month, unless there are no development, subdivision, or variance applications received in the month prior that require a decision form MPC.
