The function of the Joint City-County Planning Committee (JCCPC) is to expedite consideration by the 2 governing bodies of planning issues which affect both governments. The Committee advises the Durham City Council and Durham Board of County Commissioners and has no ultimate decision-making power. It is created to help develop consensus between the City and County concerning planning issues for which coordinated decisions must be made.

The Joint City-County Planning Committee is comprised of 3 members from each governing body, and as ex officio members, the Planning Director, the City and County managers, and the chairperson of the Planning Commission. The committee roster is located here.
