Upcoming Meeting Information

The next Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting will be held on Tuesday, April 21, 2026.  The agenda and packet will be posted approximately one week before the scheduled meeting.

Development Review Committee Information

The Development Review Committee (DRC) is a staff-level committee made up of County staff representing various departments and agencies that have a responsibility for reviewing plans or providing services to proposed development.  A preliminary review of each application received by the submission deadline will be completed in order to determine if a DRC review will be required.  When required, applicants are encouraged to attend this meeting. 

DRC meetings are generally held in the Administrative Complex located at 66 Captain Matthew Freeman Drive, or virtually via Go-To Meeting.  These meetings typically take place between the hours of 9:00 am and 12:00 pm, with 30-minute time slots allotted for discussion of each application.  DRC meetings are scheduled by staff.  Once an application is determined to be complete, an email will be sent notifying an applicant of their meeting time and location.

 

General Meeting Information 

Beginning February 2021, the Planning and Zoning Commission will meet on the third Tuesday of every month.  The Planning Commission also serves as the Board of Adjustment, which hears variances and appeals.  Meetings begin at 6:30 p.m. and location alternates between Pembroke and Richmond Hill. 

  • The Pembroke meetings will be held in the Commissioners Meeting Room located at 42 N. Courthouse Street in Pembroke.
