You'll work closely with city leadership, giving you a direct line into impactful policy-making while helping to protect the character and prosperity of Roosevelt City for generations to come.
As a Planning & Zoning Commission Board Member, your role is both advisory and influential. Expect to spend your time reviewing zoning change requests, subdivision applications, and land use proposals. You'll help update the General Plan and local ordinances and will participate in public hearings where community input matters. Your job is to ensure all recommendations align with the city's vision for sustainable and lawful growth.
