Committee confirms Duncan Chaptiva to Central Area Planning Commission
Summary
The committee unanimously confirmed the mayor’s nominee, Duncan Chaptiva, to the Central Area Planning Commission for a term ending June 30, 2027; the nominee described real‑estate and neighborhood leadership experience and pledged to consider diverse stakeholder views.
The Planning and Land Use Committee voted 5–0 to confirm the mayor’s nomination of Duncan Chaptiva to the Central Area Planning Commission for a term expiring June 30, 2027.
Duncan Chaptiva introduced himself at the committee as a portfolio and real‑estate professional with community leadership experience; he told the committee he had served on neighborhood councils and a local temple and pledged to “take the opinions of all parties” when considering development and zoning decisions.
Committee members praised Chaptiva’s community ties and experience. Member Roman noted having worked with him and said the nominee’s leadership of local community institutions had prepared him for commission service. The roll call recorded five votes in favor: Bloomenfield, Hot, Nazarian, Lee and Ramon.
No organized opposition appeared at the hearing. The committee’s confirmation transmits the nomination to the full council (if required by charter) or otherwise records a committee‑level confirmation per the local appointment process. The transcript shows Chaptiva acknowledged recent community tensions in public comments and thanked committee members for their consideration.
The appointment is effective following whatever administrative steps the city uses to finalize commission appointments.
