Welcome! The City of Spokane's Plan Commission was established in 1910 and consists of ten members who serve without pay. The members include residents from diverse neighborhoods and council districts within the City with diverse professional backgrounds and citizens active in neighborhood or community affairs. Plan Commission provides advice and makes recommendations on broad planning goals and policies and other matters as requested by the City Council. The minutes from the Plan Commission meetings and their findings and recommendations are available on this website.

The Plan Commission provides opportunities for public participation in City planning by providing through its own membership an informed opinion to complement the work of the City's elected officials and administrative departments. They also solicit public comment on planning issues of City-wide importance or of a substantial community concern, evaluating those comments received. Assistance of experts and others with knowledge or ideas to contribute to City planning are secured as well.

Plan Commission holds public hearings and makes recommendations to the City Council regarding the following matters:

  • Amendments to the City's Comprehensive Plan and the development regulations implementing the Comprehensive Plan
  • Changes in the corporate limits of the City, including the land use designations and zoning to become effective upon the annexation of any area proposed for annexation or which might reasonably be expected to be annexed by the City at any future time
