Planning & Zoning Commission

High Point's Planning & Zoning Commission is an advisory body made up of nine (9) members appointed by the City Council. It is the general intent of Council to appoint one member from each of the six (6) City Council wards. Two (2) of the remaining three members are appointed from the City at large, and one (1) member is appointed from the City's extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ) by the Guilford County Board of Commissioners upon recommendation by the City Council. A full term appointment is three years in length. A member is limited to serving two consecutive full terms, not counting any time served filling the un-expired term of a previous member. Regular meetings of the Planning and Zoning Commission are held at 6:00 p.m. in the City Council Chambers on the fourth Tuesday of every month. Meetings of the City Council are scheduled for the first and third Monday of the month. Cases do not automatically proceed to the next City Council meeting following the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting. Planning staff will inform the applicant of their City Council Public Hearing date.
