Planning Commission
Planning Commission Overview
The Windemere Township Planning Commission is currently comprised of five township resident members, each appointed to a three (3) year term by the Board of Supervisors. The Planning Commission is resposible for developing the Township Master Plan (Comprehensive Plan), which guides future Township development, and the Windemere Township Zoning Ordinance, which protects and enhances the public health, safety, and welfare of the Township and its residents. Both documents are subject to Township Board approval. The Planning Commission is also tasked with review and approval of various land use development applications, such as conditional and interim use permits.
