Newton-North Newton Planning Commission
The Newton-North Newton Planning Commission is a nine-member body appointed
by the governing bodies of Newton and North Newton in April of each year.
Members serve staggered three-year terms commencing on May 1 in the year
of appointment. Vacancies are filled by appointment by the governing body
that appointed the vacating member, with such appointment being for the
unexpired term of the vacating member.
The planning commission makes recommendations to the respective governing

the zoning regulations, and to hear and rule on appeals from determinations
of the zoning administrator.
