Doña Ana County seeks four residents to serve on the Planning and Zoning Commission, a seven-member board of volunteers who review land-use and development matters during twice-a-month public hearings.

Applications will be accepted through 5 p.m. Friday, April 5 for the four seats currently available on the commission. They will be filled by the Doña Ana County Board of Commissioners at its regular meeting Tuesday, April 23.

Planning and Zoning Commission members are appointed for two-year staggered terms.  Meetings are generally held on the second and fourth Thursday of each month, from 9 a.m. to noon, in the Commission Chambers at the Doña Ana County Government Center, 845 N. Motel Blvd.

Matters historically before the commission include variance requests to land use requirements, special use permit designations; zone changes, subdivision reviews and approvals and staff decision appeals, reports to the Board of County Commissioners and recommendations related to amendments or changes to the County’s comprehensive plan and Unified Development Code.

To be considered for a seat on the commission, please submit a letter of interest, a current résumé and three letters of reference.
