MPC
METROPOLITAN PLANNING COMMISSION
MPC promotes quality growth through comprehensive planning and land
use controls. MPC is also supposed to provide competent, objective
advice to elected and appointed officials, involve the public in the
planning process, and serve as an information source for citizens
and the business community. A 30 year observance of MPC shows that
they do a pretty competent job. At times rotating MPC staff, aggressive
developers with changing plans for developments in your neighborhood, and short
term memories for agreements made in the past, make a case for eternal zoning
vigilance by any neighborhood. This task is now a little easier
with internet availability.

COMMISSION MEMBERS
If your neighborhood needs to contact the MPC commission members this is the
place. Communicate with commission members on zoning issues of interest.
