Del Mar: Volunteers Needed To Fill Four Planning Commission Vacancies

Press release from the City of Del Mar:

May 7, 2020

The City is recruiting residents to fill four vacancies on the Planning Commission, a governing body that plays a key role in shaping Del Mar’s land use policy. The application deadline is 4:30 p.m. May 15.

The City Council confirms appointments in open session.

In its quasi-judicial role, the Planning Commission vets Del Mar’s most pressing land use matters. Most actions of the Planning Commission are final unless appealed to the City Council.

Currently, the commission is tracking the City’s Housing Element Update ahead of reviewing environmental documents and preparing a formal recommendation to the City Council.

In other business, the Planning Commission holds public hearings and acts upon applications for subdivisions, floodplain development permits, conditional use permits and variances. On occasion, the Commission makes formal interpretations of the zoning ordinance and determinations of allowable uses.

As an advisory body to the City Council, the commission reviews and makes recommendations on specific plans, zoning code amendments, local coastal program amendments, and community plan amendments.

The Planning Commission meets at 6 p.m. on the second Tuesday of each month.
