Planning & Zoning Commission

The Planning & Zoning Commission is a five-member board with two alternates, comprised of volunteers appointed by the Aledo City Council. Its duties and responsibilities include reviewing requests and making recommendations to the Aledo City Council on the following matters:

Rezoning Requests – Requests to alter the zoning district for a piece of property. Zoning districts regulate the allowed and special uses and the basic development standards for properties throughout the City of Aledo.

Specific Use Permits – Each zoning district includes a list of potential uses that may be appropriate for the district in certain locations. These uses require a permit to be issued by Council.

Amendments to the Zoning Ordinance – Periodically the zoning ordinance requires changes to help the city meet the goals of the strategic plan.

Proposed Subdivisions of Land – Requests to divide a lot, tract, or parcel of land into two or more lots (Preliminary, Final, Minor, and Replats).

Site Plans – Review of site plans to ensure compliance with requirements of the zoning ordinance.

Impact Fees – Serve as the Capital Improvement Advisory Committee on water and sewer impact fees.

The Commission may undertake special studies and reviews as directed by the Council. The Planning and Zoning Commission meets on the second Thursday of each month, at 6:00  p.m., in the Aledo Community Center. Members serve two-year terms, appointed on a staggered basis, and must be residents of the City of Aledo.
