Planning and Zoning

The Nevis Planning Commission consists of members appointed by the city council from among the property owners of the City of Nevis.  In addition, one City council member serves as liaison with the Planning Commission.  Meetings are normally scheduled for the 4th Monday of the month at 6:00 P.M. in the Nevis City Council Chambers.

The main purpose of the Planning Commission is to assist the City Council in the formulation of goals, policies and programs for the future of Nevis.  The commission will review applications for conditional use permits, subdivision proposals, variances and Ordinance amendments. The Planning Commission will also conduct public hearings in accordance with the provisions of the Ordinance and make recommendations to the City Council.  The Planning Commission may also perform other tasks depending on what the City Council asks of them.

To inquire about new construction, land division activity, site grading and improvements, fence permits, sign permits, or changes in land use activity; please call the Planning & Zoning Contact.  A meeting at City Hall or on-site at your property can be arranged in advance by appointment.
