Orance County Planning Commission
The Orange County Board of Supervisors appoints five planning commissioners, each representing a district of the County.

Zoning Administrator
The Zoning Administrator reviews and makes determinations on minor discretionary permits.

Subdivision Committee
The Subdivision Committee acts on tentative parcel maps and tentative final maps proposing to subdivide property in the unincorporated area of the County.

Development Processing Review Committee
The DPRC was created in the early 1980s during a period of significant change and reorganization within the County. DPRC's purpose originally was defined as reviewing the organizational changes to identify ways to increase cost efficiency, decrease processing times, and improve internal project coordination during the review of development proposals. The DPRC's purpose was refined in 1982 to be a more general and ongoing review of the planning process.

Specific Plan Review Boards
The Board of Supervisors has created Specific Plan Review Boards as listed below to review and comment on proposed land development projects within their respective geographic area of interest. These review boards normally meet once each month and conduct public meetings. Any member of the public may attend and testify at these meetings on any agenda item. Meetings are normally conducted in the evening within the subject community.
