Roles & Responsibilities

The Planning Commission is a seven-member volunteer panel that is responsible for making recommendations to the City Council on all legislative land-use and planning matters. Commissioners serve as vital volunteers, who bring vital community-led solutions and critical oversight to local government. Members are appointed to four-year terms by the Mayor; appoints require approval of the City Council.

The roles and responsibilities of the Planning Commission include evaluating new and existing policies and plans that guide and regulate future growth and development in Wilsonville in a way that furthers the community’s existing goals and commitments to sustainability, inclusivity, economic vitality, and livability. The Planning Commission ensures new policy recommendations are consistent with the City’s existing planning policies, and reviews and makes recommendations on all proposed amendments to the Comprehensive Plan, development policies and zoning code. As such, Commissioners are expected to gain in-depth knowledge of applicable City Code provisions.  

Given the important role of the Planning Commission, the City seeks to appoint membership that accurately represents the diversity of Wilsonville’s population.  

Planning Commissioners are expected to attend all Planning Commission meetings and to devote time for study of relevant issues prior to each meeting. Commissioners receive staff support from the Planning Division, which provides in-depth reports and supporting material for Commissioners to review.  

Committee for Citizen Involvement (CCI)

Wilsonville’s Planning Commission, made up of people with diverse interests in the community, fulfills the role as the city’s official Committee for Citizen Involvement (CCI). The CCI frequently conducts work sessions and other informal public meetings that are deliberately intended to encourage an exchange of ideas and opinions without the formality of public hearings. The CCI assists the City Council in gathering information, sponsoring public meetings, and/or evaluating proposals and special projects relating to land use and civic issues when requested by elected or appointed city officials or indicated by community need.
