Vermont § 4321 - Creation of planning commissions

§ 4321. Creation of planning commissions

• (a) A planning commission may be created at any time by the act of the legislative body
  of a municipality. (b) In any urban municipality, the legislative body may create a planning department headed
  by a planning director as a substitute for a planning commission, and, in that event
  all of the powers and duties of planning commissions set forth herein shall be exercised
  by such planning director, subject to such regulations as that executive body shall
  from time to time specify, and sections 4322 and 4323 of this title shall not apply to such director. In such event, that legislative body may further
  create an advisory planning council, which shall only function in an advisory capacity
  to the planning director in the exercise of his or her powers and duties, and shall
  have such other functions as that legislative body shall, by resolution, assign to
  such council. (Added 1967, No. 334 (Adj. Sess.), § 1, eff. March 23, 1968.)
