NOTICE OF UNSCHEDULED VACANCY

Design Review Committee

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN, pursuant to California Government Code §54974, that an unscheduled vacancy exists on the Design Review Committee. The unexpired term ends on June 30, 2028.

The Design Review Committee is established to uphold community aesthetics. Recognizing that the inclusion of specific aesthetic development standards is impracticable due to the variable nature of architectural concepts, construction materials and aesthetic goals from one time period to another and from one neighborhood to another, it is in the public interest to establish an authority for project review. Among the key responsibilities of the Committee is evaluation of building modifications in the City's historic districts in support of the historic preservation goals and policies of the General Plan, and to ensure conformance with federal and local standards.

Qualifications: Members must have their primary residence or primary place of employment in the City. Committee members shall be qualified to analyze and interpret architectural and site planning information, including, but not limited to, licensed landscape architects, architects, urban planners, engineers and licensed general contractors. At least two members shall have professional experience in urban planning, architectural history or historic preservation and possess a general knowledge of architecture in the City's Historic District.

Meetings: The Design Review Committee meets on the first and third Wednesday of each month at 5:30 p.m. in the Council Chamber.

Application Deadline: Open until filled. In accordance with Government Code § 54974, final appointment to the committee shall not be made by the City Council for at least 10 business days after the posting of this notice.

Applications may be obtained and submitted electronically from the Boards, Commissions, & Committees page on the City of Orange website at www.cityoforange.org. Questions? Please contact the Office of the City Clerk at (714) 744-5500.
