The board also serves as the Watershed Review Board. The Planning Department serves as staff adviser.

The board is composed of five members plus three alternates. Four regular members and two alternates must reside inside the Garner Town Limits and the remaining regular member and alternate must reside outside of the Town limits but within Wake County, preferably within the Town’s extra-territorial jurisdiction (ETJ).
