City of East Grand Forks planning is guided by its 2035 Land Use Plan. This land use element guides residential density, commercial and industrial activity, and zoning within the East Grand Forks planning area. A land use decision-making process has been in place since 1965 when the City Council adopted the first zoning ordinance. The City Code includes all current city ordinances.

The Grand Forks-East Grand Forks Metropolitan Planning Organization (GF-EGF MPO) provides technical assistance to the City for planning and transit.

The Planning and Zoning Commission serves as the advisory board to the East Grand Forks City Council. The Mayor nominates community members to the commission for 4 year terms. Those nominations are then approved by the City Council.

The Commission meets the second Thursday of each month at 12:00 p.m. in the East Grand Forks Council Chambers. Requests and applications to the Commission must be submitted prior to the deadline. Commission meeting minutes from the 2005 and 2006 calendar years are available for download.
