The City Planning Commission is a body of seven members, six are appointed by the Mayor & one is a member of City Council.
The Commission is supported by a staff of professional planners and architects. 👍🏾
The City Charter gives the Commission responsibility for preparing plans to guide “development and improvement” of the @CityofCleveland and its neighborhoods, and for reviewing all legislation and other matters that concern the “use or development of land.”
