Multnomah County’s Land Use Planning Division is looking for three Multnomah County residents to serve as volunteer members on the County’s Planning Commission.
The Multnomah County Planning Commission addresses rural land use planning issues to meet state planning requirements and the policies set forth by the Multnomah County Board of Commissioners.
The Planning Commission makes recommendations to the board for adoption, revision or repeal of the Comprehensive Plan, zoning code and other regulatory ordinances.
The Planning Commission typically meets on the first Monday of every month (except for holidays and the month of August) starting at 6:30 p.m. Most meetings take place either virtually or at the Multnomah Building located at 501 SE Hawthorne Blvd., in Portland. The commission consists of nine members who serve four-year terms and are appointed by the Multnomah County Board of Commissioners.
Applications must be submitted no later than Thursday, May 18, 2023 (unless extended). You can apply online here or an application may be requested via US mail by calling 503-988-0188 or emailing kevin.c.cook@multco.us
