Bannock County government officials are assisted in their work by volunteers who sit on various councils and commissions.
One of these is the Planning and Development Council. Bannock County has published the following explaining the work of this group:
The Planning & Development Council members are volunteers that are appointed to advise the County Commissioners on matters such as coordinating plans for physical development, formation of zoning districts, recommendations concerning roads, development of land, future growth, and more.
The Planning and Development Council typically meet at 5:15 p.m on the third Wednesday of the month. Additional meetings may be scheduled, if needed. Click here to see the full 2024 Meeting Schedule. Meetings are held in Conference Room 1, Office of Planning and Development Services, 5500 S 5th Ave, Pocatello, Idaho 83204 (Meeting location subject to change). Get directions.
Public hearing and business items need to be received by the Office of Planning and Development Services on or before the due date, which can be found in the meeting schedule.
The Council conducts two types of hearings, “Legislative”, matters of general concern that affect the entire County and/or “Quasi-Judicial” which they make a decision on requests that are specific to a parcel of land. For “Quasi-Judicial” matters, there shall be no contact or discussion between the public and Council Members pertaining to specific land use requests that are scheduled or may be in conceptual planning.
