Planning Board
The Planning Board reviews and makes recommendations to the Town Council about all proposals for rezoning, various development-related requests, and amendments and additions to the Town’s zoning regulations and comprehensive plan. The Planning Board has no judicial or final decision authority but guides the Town Council on those requests.
Meetings

- Town Hall Council Chambers, 128 S Main St.
- Meeting packets are available before all meetings.

Public comment may be made by submitting your comment(s) in writing to the Planning Board clerk, either by emailing DSIntake@hollyspringsnc.gov or by depositing your written comment in an envelope marked “Planning Board Public Comment, ATTN: Development Services” in the pay drop box in the parking lot next to Town Hall before 4 p.m. on the Friday before a meeting.

The Planning Board is a nine-member citizen advisory board appointed by the Town Council. Eight live inside the Town limits. One resides within the Town’s extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ).
The Town Council appoints in-town members of the Planning Board on a rotating schedule to three-year terms. The Wake County Board of Commissioners appoints ETJ members upon recommendation by the Town Council. If a seat is vacated, a new member is appointed mid-year to fill the remainder of the term.
