The Planning and Zoning Commission is a five-member board comprised of volunteers appointed by Suwanee City Council. Its duties include hearing and making recommendations to City Council on rezoning and special use permit requests and reviewing amendments to the Zoning Ordinance; the commission also decides on proposed waivers to the city's development regulations and architectural standards. The board also may undertake special studies and reviews as directed by City Council. The Planning and Zoning Commission typically meets at 6:30 pm the first Tuesday of each month.
