Clarksville Montgomery County Regional Planning Commission

The Clarksville-Montgomery County Regional Planning Commission (CMCRPC) is an independent body established in 1963 under Tennessee State Law. The Planning Commission consists of nine members serving the community. This agency provides technical and planning assistance in coordinating actions among federal, state, regional, and local governments. The basic function and duty of the Planning Commission is to make and adopt a general regional plan for the physical development. The plan is for the purpose of guiding and accomplishing a coordinated, adjusted, efficient, and economic development of the region. The Regional Planning Commission has ten employees on staff to oversee rezoning within the Clarksville-Montgomery County area, review subdivision development, and coordinate transportation planning within the Clarksville-Montgomery County area. As noted earlier, CMC-RPC processes and reviews requests for zoning changes, review and approval of subdivisions within Clarksville and Montgomery County, Tennessee. We also process all site reviews for the City and County which are required in many zone districts including proposed multi-family, commercial, and industrial projects. Also, the CMC-RPC is responsible for carrying out the City and County's short and long range planning activities. Assigning and maintaining the E-911 addressing for the City of Clarksville is a vital role of the RPC and its staff. We have two employees that are involved in transportation planning activities. These staff members are funded through federal, state and some local.
