Design review board seeks candidates to fill vacancy

Share

Ramona Design Review Board is seeking applicants for a community at-large seat that became vacant in January when member Carol Close resigned.

The appointee will finish the remainder of Close’s three-year term that will end in June 2018.

The nine-member board meets the fourth Thursday of each month at 7:30 p.m. at the Ramona Community Center, 434 Aqua Lane. Anyone who wants to be considered for vacant seat is asked to attend the board’s Feb. 25 meeting.

Candidates 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 Land Use and 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.

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

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