Planning and Zoning Commission (P&Z). The Town of Pantego has established a Planning
and Zoning Commission that is appointed by Council for two-year terms. The Commission
consists of seven residents of the Town, with the Town Building Official (Community Development
Director) and Support Specialist serving as liaisons. The Commission acts as an advisory board
to the Council on matters related to zoning, planning, or sub-dividing land within the corporate
limits of the Town. The Planning and Zoning Commission considers special use permits and
changes in zoning requirements and makes a recommendation to the Town Council following a
public hearing

Zoning Board of Adjustments (ZBA). The Zoning Ordinance provides for the creation of a
Board of Development Appeals, consisting of five members appointed by Council for two-year
terms. These members serve as the Board of Adjustments, which considers requests for
variances from requirements of the Zoning Ordinances. As the Board of Development Appeals,
they also consider requests for relief from building, plumbing and other development codes and
from orders issued by the building inspector.

Community Relations Board (CRB). The Community Relations Board is responsible for the
development and administration of the Town’s public activities such as the Easter Egg Hunt,
Movie Night at the Park and Memorial Day. The Board also organizes the Halloween Carnival
and Christmas Tree Lighting. The members are appointed by Council and serve two-year terms.

Pantego Economic Development Corporation (PEDC). The Pantego Economic Development
Corporation was founded in 1993, following an election to assess a ½ cent sales and use tax.
The PEDC administers the expenditure of the 4B sales tax authorized by the Development
Corporation Act of land, buildings, equipment, facilities, expenditures, targeted infrastructure and
improvements for items defined as authorized projects. Funds administered by the PEDC are
