PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION meets on the fourth Thursday of each month at 7:00 p.m. at City Hall in the City Council Chambers, if there is business before the Commission.

The Planning and Zoning Commission consists of five regular members and two alternate members. They must live within the city limits of Pittsburg, and are appointed by the City Council to serve a term of two years. The Commission reviews all requests for zoning changes and subdivision plats, and when requested by the City Council, the Commission reviews zoning problems within the City and reviews other problems concerning the growth, expansion, and land usage within the City, and makes recommendations to the City Council for their action.

A completed zoning change application, with all required information (including a certified plat, site plan and a complete description of the property) along with appropriate application fees paid, and other information as requested, must be submitted to City Hall before the first Friday of the month zoning request(s) will be heard. Applications are available at Pittsburg City Hall.

BOARD OF ADJUSTMENTS is composed of five regular members and two alternate members, who are citizens of the City of Pittsburg and are appointed by the City Council for a term of two years. The Board is authorized to in some cases, and under appropriate conditions and safeguards, make special exceptions to the zoning ordinance.

The Board may:
(a) hear and decide appeals where it is alleged there is an error in any order, requirement, decision or determination made by any administrative official in the enforcement of the ordinance;
(b) hear and decide special exceptions to the terms of a zoning ordinance when the ordinance requires the board to do so;
(c) authorize in specific cases such variance from the terms of the ordinance as will not be contrary to the public interest, where owing to special conditions, a literal enforcement of the provisions of the ordinance will result in unnecessary hardship, and so that the spirit of the ordinance shall be observed and substantial justice done.

The Board of Adjustments meets at 10:00 a.m. on the third Tuesday of each month at City Hall in the Council Chambers. Application deadline is seventeen business days prior to the meeting date.

Board Members:

Joe Rex Robertson
