Fanny Lam, Chairperson Recording Secretary Agenda Item No. 6.3 CITY OF ROHNERT PARK MEMORANDUM DATE: October 6, 2022 TO: Planning Commissioners FROM: Jeff Beiswenger, Planning Manager RE: Appointment of Planning Commission Member to City Subdivision Review Committee Section 16.04.460 of the Rohnert Park Municipal Code establishes the City's Subdivision Review Committee as "a committee of the city consisting of the director [of the development services department] or his/her designee, the city engineer or his/her designee and one planning commissioner designated by the planning commission." There is an application currently under review that will be brought before the Committee for decision in the next month or so. Since there has been no activity in the last couple of years requiring a Committee hearing, and there is a new body of Commissioners since the last meeting, staff is requesting that the Commission designate a member to sit on the Subdivision Review Committee at this time. These meetings are held during regular business hours here at city hall and typically last a half an hour at most. As with the Planning Commission, a staff report is generated and the meetings are conducted in similar fashion.
