Adelanto council appoints commercial broker Paul Casilla to planning commission
Summary
Paul Casilla, a local commercial real-estate broker with Lee & Associates, was nominated and sworn in as a planning commissioner after the previous commissioner moved out of city limits; he said he will recuse himself where conflicts arise.
Adelanto — The council on May 14 appointed Paul Casilla (S11), a commercial real-estate broker with Lee & Associates, to fill a vacancy on the Planning Commission created when Adriana Garcia moved out of the city.
Councilmember (S9) nominated Casilla, citing his experience in real estate and community ties. Several council members praised his background and urged him to advise the council on vacant-land-policy work.
Casilla introduced himself at the podium and said he has worked in commercial real estate in the region since 2004 and has lived in Adelanto since 2011. After the motion and second, Casilla took the oath of office. He told the council he would recuse himself from votes where he had a conflict of interest.
Why it matters: The planning commission reviews land-use applications and makes recommendations that shape local development. Council members flagged vacant-land tax work and asked Casilla to advise on development and potential conflicts.
Next steps: Casilla will begin serving on the Planning Commission; the council and counsel noted recusal procedures to avoid conflicts of interest where Casilla represents clients with matters before the commission.
