Two open positions on Lane County Planning Commission

The Lane County Planning Commission is accepting applications to fill two positions: an at-large position and an in-city position. An at-large positions means that, while applicants must be Lane County residents, they do not need to live in a particular area of the county. An in-city position means that applicants must live within the city limits of one of Lane County's 12 incorporated cities.

"How we manage issues related to land use is, literally, how we build our community for ourselves and future generations," said Lane County Planning Director Amber Bell. "The Planning Commission is an important part of that process and we hope people are interested in serving in that role."

The Lane County Planning Commission is a nine-member advisory board that makes recommendations to the Board of County Commissioners regarding land use, comprehensive plan issues and amendments, as well as other regional planning issues. The group generally meets twice per month in the evenings.

Applicants must be residents of Lane County.
