Planning Board

The Planning Board's focus is to enhance the quality of life for residents and visitors on Marco Island while managing growth and development and protecting the island’s tropical small town character.  In our role as the Land Development Regulation Commission (in accordance with Florida Statutes), we will review the Land Development Code to address areas of concern identified by the City Council, the Planning Board, other City Committees and/or community organizations to determine the appropriateness of proposed code changes.

As the City's Land Planning Agency, the Planning Board is responsible for initiating and reviewing changes to the Comprehensive Plan (Long Range Planning Document), and reviewing all other petitions and Code changes for consistency with the Comprehensive Plan.  The Planning Board recommendations are forwarded to City Council.
