The January meeting of the ALAPA Executive Committee will take place from at 10:30am at the Central Alabama Regional Planning and Development Commission offices at 430 South Court Street in Montgomery, AL. Executive Committee Agenda 1-10-14  

The purpose of this workshop is to provide local officials and the citizens who serve on local planning commissions and boards of adjustment with a basic understanding of the constitutional and statutory framework for comprehensive and regulatory planning in Alabama.

This workshop is designed for local officials, staff, and others who want a more thorough understanding of the powers, duties, and responsibilities of planning commissions and boards of adjustment.

When your city decides to create a planning commission, enabling legislation in Alabama states that your commission must prepare a master or comprehensive plan. Therefore, preparing and adopting a master plan is a mandatory requirement, not an option.
