Citrus Heights Planning Commission seeks to fill vacancy

By Sara Beth Williams–
The City of Citrus Heights is seeking to fill a vacancy on its Planning Commission, left by the resignation of Max Semenenko last month.

The Planning Commission vacancy is a volunteer position, but the city confirmed with The Sentinel on Monday that stipends are provided based on the number of meetings attended.

Responsibilities listed on the city’s website include, making land use decisions consistent with current policy plans adopted by the City Council, and weighing professional input given in staff reports, environmental impact reports and consultant reports. Commission members may also review proposed local ordinances, along with the city’s Capital Improvement Plan and the General Plan.

Commission members must be residents of Citrus Heights, be at least 18 years of age, and able to attend two meetings per month in the evenings.

Appointment Process:

Interested Citrus Heights residents can apply to be considered using a standard application on the city’s website. Applications are then forwarded to the City Council, where formal appointments are made during council meetings. Applications of those who are not selected will remain on file for two years, according to the city.

More information regarding the Planning Commission appointment process and how to apply can be found on the city’s website.
