Planning commissioner to step down; staff reviews director's exemption notifications
Summary
A commissioner said Oct. 1 that this would be their last Planning Commission meeting; staff also briefed commissioners on the Director's Exemption process and requested commissioners verify contact information for email notifications of exempted projects.
At the close of the Oct. 1 meeting a commissioner announced they will step down after the meeting, creating a vacancy on the Ojai Planning Commission. Commissioners and staff thanked the departing commissioner for years of service and noted the commission will follow the city’s appointment process to fill vacancies.
Earlier in the meeting staff reviewed the City’s Director’s Exemption process, which allows certain design-review permits to be processed administratively rather than as public hearings before the full commission. Staff said director’s exemption notices are posted on the city website and emailed to commissioners and city council; staff requested commissioners confirm the email addresses on file to ensure they receive call-ups for items they believe should be heard by the full commission.
City council liaison Rachel (last name not stated) thanked the departing commissioner for service and said she would serve as liaison in the next quarter. Commissioners were reminded that future meeting agendas may be light (one meeting recommended for cancellation) and that several projects remain in the review pipeline and will return when applicants provide complete submittals. No formal personnel actions were taken at the meeting.
