The Sacramento County Project and Policy Planning Commissions are five-member commissions appointed by the Board of Supervisors to hear land use, zoning and related policy issues. Insuring compliance with legal noticing requirements, meeting scheduling, agenda preparation and meeting follow-up are overseen by the Clerk of the Board's office. Clerk of the Board staff also acts as clerk of the commission at their meetings.

Many actions taken by the Project Planning Commission are final unless appealed to the Board of Supervisors. This commission typically hears smaller or single-entitlement applications such as rezones, use permits and variances.

Policy Planning Commission actions are almost always sent as recommendations to the Board of Supervisors for final deliberation. This commission hears land use policy issues such as community plan amendments, general plan amendments and multi-entitlement applications.
