What is the Plan Commission?
The primary duty of the Porter Advisory Plan Commission is to develop and recommend to the Town Council a plan for the future of the land use in the community, called the "Comprehensive Plan". The Commission also must make recommendations on rezoning requests and decisions on subdivision proposals. The town's Comprehensive Plan and the Code of Ordinances are the basis of all recommendations and decisions. Learn more here.
