Planning Commission

Camden County Planning Commission

Purpose

The Camden County Planning Commission is an advisory body that makes recommendations on zoning property, land use amendments, and comprehensive plan policy. The decisions from the Planning Commission ultimately go to the Camden County Board of County Commissioners for final approval. The Planning Commission is the first step in the overall approval process for changes to existing land use assignments, whether the request be a property rezoning, primary variance, or land use permit. The Planning Commission serves to evaluate development projects and land policy proposals which serve to promote existing community-based desires, future land use trends, public health, general welfare, economic prosperity, and overall quality of life for Camden County residents.
