Holidays change Ramona Design Review Board schedule

Board selects McCormick as chair, seeks new member

Because of the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays, Ramona Design Review Board will meet a week early in November and December.

The group will meet Thursday, Nov. 21, and Thursday, Dec. 19. Meetings are at 7:30 p.m. in Ramona Community Center, 434 Aqua Lane.

At their last meeting, design review board members selected Evelyn McCormick chairperson to replace Debi Klingner who resigned for business reasons. McCormick, secretary of the Warrior Foundation-Freedom Station Board and project coordinator for Pacific Living Properties Inc., has served on the design review board for eight years.

The nine-member board is advisory to San Diego County and is a required step in the approval process for the following types of projects in the Ramona Community 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. Board members review project site planning, architecture, landscape design and details such as signage and lighting.

Anyone wishing to fill the vacancy on the board is asked to attend the Nov. 21 meeting.
