General
The Brooklyn Center Planning Commission typically meets at 7:00 p.m. at the 2nd and 4th Thursday of each month at City Hall. Since the Planning Commission meets on the immediate Thursday following the Council Meetings, for some months, the Planning Commission Meetings will be on different Thursdays of the month. 

The Planning Commission advises the City Council on issues related to comprehensive planning of land use and redevelopment, platting, rezoning, and special use applications, plan approval, variances, and appeals. Commissioners serve a two-year term. The Commission is composed of a Chairperson and six members.
