The Inyo County Planning Commission acts as the advisory body to the
Board of Supervisors on matters concerning growth, development, and the
environment of the County. The Commission's role is established and
defined by Section 2.40 of the Inyo County Code.
The Commission is composed of five members; one each from the five
Supervisorial Districts. The Board of Supervisors appoints these five
