Planning Commission

The Dana Point Planning Commission is a decision-making body tasked with reviewing matters related to planning and development in the City. The Commission consists of five members, and all are appointed and serve at the pleasure of the City Council.

Typical projects reviewed by the Planning Commission include applications for new development, proposed changes in zoning or the text of the Municipal Code, as well as review of proposed subdivisions of land. The Commission is also responsible for making recommendations to the City Council, such as whether to enter into a Mills Act Contract with a property owner or whether a project or action would be consistent with the General Plan. For more information regarding the Planning Commission, see Section 2.07 of the Dana Point Municipal Code.

The City of Dana Point Planning Commission meets the first and third Mondays of each month at 6:00 pm in the City Council Chamber.
