Summary
The Planning & Zoning Board consists of five (5) voting members and a non-voting School Board representative. The PZB provides recommendations to the City Commission on various development applications as provided for within the City's Land Development Regulations. The process to make appointments to the PZB is regulated by the City Charter, Commission Rules of Procedures, and Land Development Regulations. These policy documents require that a newspaper advertisement be placed at least two weeks prior to the time upon which appointments are to be made to the Board. Advertisements were placed in the Alachua County Today newspaper on July 13th, August 10th and August 17th, 2017. A notice was also posted on the City's website. Any citizen who desires to serve on the PZB must be a City resident.
The Commission must consider two appointments to the PZB. Board member Dayna Miller was appointed to serve a three (3) year term which expired on August 3, 2017. Anthony Wright was appointed to serve a three year term which also expired on August 3, 2017. The appointments would be for two (2) three-year terms ending on September 25, 2020. A listing in alphabetical order of the applicants has been provided for your reference, as well as a ballot. The three candidates are as follows:
Dayna Miller (seeking reappointment)
Edward Potts
Anthony Wright (seeking reappointment)
The candidates have been advised that the Commission will be considering this item and have been invited to attend the meeting. Resolution 17-26 has been drafted and will be finalized to reflect the appointments made during tonight's meeting.
The Deputy City Clerk's Office will administer the ballot process.
