Design review board needs to fill two board vacancies

Share

Ramona Design Review Board is seeking applicants to fill two vacant seats on its board.

Member Michiyo Kirkpatrick on Nov. 21 announced her resignation, as did board chair Debi Klingner in September, both for business reasons.

Interested applicants are asked to attend the board’s Dec. 19 meeting, which will begin at 7:30 p.m. in Ramona Community Center, 434 Aqua Lane. The board normally meets the last Thursday of the month but revised its schedule due to the holidays.

Those interested in applying must live, maintain a business, own property or be employed in the Ramona planning area to be considered for appointment.

The board is advisory to the San Diego County Department of Planning and Development Services and is a required step in the approval process for 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.

Board members review project site planning, architecture, landscape design, and details such as signage and lighting.

All board nominations are reviewed by the county supervisors. Emphasis is given to those with backgrounds in architecture, landscape architecture, urban planning, fine arts, and construction.
