Marin County, CA – The deadline is 5 p.m. Friday, February 7, to apply for seats representing Districts 2, 3, 4 and at-large on the Marin County Planning Commission. Residents of Marin County are invited to apply.
Five of the seven commission members’ terms are expiring January 31, but the Marin County Board of Supervisors is welcoming commissioners with expiring terms to continue serving until decisions are made about reappointments.

The commission has final authority (pending appeal to the Board of Supervisors) on subdivisions, design reviews, use permits, and other planning decisions appealed from planning staff actions. The commission also hears appeals of the findings of the Deputy Zoning Administrator and actions of the County's planning staff.
