Share

Nominations are being accepted to replace Greg Roberson on the Ramona Design Review Board.

Roberson, an architect who has held the seat for many years, is not seeking another term on the board, saying he would like to give someone else an opportunity to sit on the board.

The nine-member board meets the last Thursday of each month at 7:30 p.m. at the Ramona Community Center, 434 Aqua Lane. Interested candidates are encouraged to attend the June 28 meeting.

Candidates must live, maintain a business, own property or be employed in the Ramona planning area.

Ramona Design Review Board Chair Debi Klingner said the position is a three-year commitment, and the board asks that candidates take the position seriously.

The board, advisory to San Diego County Department of Planning and Land Use, is a required step in the development approval process for the following types of projects in the Ramona planning area: all commercial development, industrial development, multi-family residential development on land zoned for more than 7.3 dwelling units per acre, and some major use permits.

Members of the board review project site planning, architecture, landscape design and details such as signage and lighting.

All nominations will be reviewed by the San Diego County Board of Supervisors. In selecting candidates, emphasis is given to those with backgrounds in architecture, landscape architecture, urban planning fine arts and construction.
