Applications Now Available for Planning Commission: Deadline is November 24 Citizens interested in becoming involved in local government have the opportunity to apply for vacant positions on the City of Montrose Planning Commission. “Specific knowledge of planning and zoning isn’t absolutely necessary to serve on the Planning Commission,” said Planning Services Manager Kerwin Jensen, “and planning commissioners often decide to become more involved and run for City Council.” According to the Municipal Code, the role of the Planning Commission is to review planning, zoning, subdivision, land use, and development requests and make recommendations to City Council; promote public interest and education in planning land use and development matters; and participate in the process for adoption of a comprehensive or master plan and amendments. Planning commissioners receive compensation of $40 per month, and the planning commission chair receives $60 per month. Meetings are held on the second and fourth Wednesdays of each month beginning at 5:00 p.m. in the City Council Chambers. To be eligible to serve on the Planning Commission, citizens must reside within the City limits and be eligible to register to vote. Commissioners are appointed for four-year terms. The application deadline for the Planning Commission vacancies is Monday, November 24, at 6:00 p.m. Applications are available at City Hall, on the City website or by calling (970) 240-1422.
