PORT ANGELES — The Clallam County commissioners are seeking applicants to fill a vacancy on the planning commission.
Jerry Stiles resigned last week because of health issues, Clallam County Principal Planner Kevin LoPiccolo said Thursday.
Stiles was appointed in July 2012.
Applications must be received by the close of business Monday, Nov. 23.
The county is seeking applicants for representation of District 1, the eastern third of the county, for a term ending Dec. 31, 2017.
The commission assists the Clallam County Board of Commissioners through the Department of Community Development with review of land-use policy and related issues.
This year’s business
This year, the commission developed zoning regulations for recreational marijuana businesses and is still developing an update to the county’s Shoreline Master Program.
Planning commissioners must have the ability to listen to diverse viewpoints and consider long-term interests of Clallam County, officials said.
Meetings take place the first and third Wednesdays of each month at 6:30 p.m. in the Board of Commissioners’ room at the Clallam County Courthouse, 223 E. Fourth St., Port Angeles.
Interested applicants can contact the Board of Commissioners’ Office at 360-417-2233 or llopiccolo@co.clallam.wa.us for an application; visit the commissioners’ office at the courthouse; or visit http://tinyurl.com/os7lmlu.
