HB Planning Commission
The Planning Commission, made up of seven individual direct appointee members is a quasi-judicial body empowered by State law and the City Council. The Planning Commission study session is open to public attendance but is not a public hearing. The meetings are subject to the Brown Act and televised live on local cable HBTV Channel 3.
Projects typically acted upon by the Planning Commission are major development proposals, tentative tract maps, zoning map amendments, zoning text amendments, general plan amendments, and various similar applications.In reviewing a project, project planners consult with various City departments as well as appropriate regional and state agencies.
Environmental assessments are conducted concurrently with each project analysis. The review process for a Planning Commission item normally requires four to five months.
