About the Deschutes County Planning Commission
The Planning Commission is an appointed committee authorized by the Board of County Commissioners, which acts as a citizen involvement committee. This group acts as an initial review body that advises the Board of County Commissioners on amendments to the County’s Comprehensive Plan and land use regulations. The Planning Commission may review land use decisions made by the Planning Division or a Hearings Officer. The Planning Commission guidelines and rules are located in Chapter 2.52 of the Deschutes County Code.
The Commission generally meets on the second and fourth Thursdays of the month at 5:30 pm in the Board Hearing Room located in the Administration Building, 1300 NW Wall Street, Bend. If you wish to contact the Planning Commission please email: PlanningCommission@deschutes.org
