The Kenton County Planning Commission is made up of 20 members, each appointed by their jurisdiction to a staggered, four-year term. Together, they represent the needs of Kenton County’s communities and guide how land is used and developed throughout the county.
The commission’s responsibilities are set out in Kentucky Revised Statutes Chapter 100. They include adopting a comprehensive plan and reviewing proposed zoning changes, development plans, land subdivisions, cellular tower construction, and public facility projects.
For most zoning matters — including zoning map and text amendments — the commission makes a recommendation, while final authority rests with the appropriate legislative body.
Planning and Development Services of Kenton County provides staff support for the commission. For more detail, visit the Kenton County Planning Commission website, which includes:
