Suwanee Seeks Civic-Minded Residents for Planning Commission and Zoning Board of Appeals

The City of Suwanee is calling upon its civically minded residents to step forward and apply for voluntary positions on its Planning Commission and Zoning Board of Appeals, respective roles that carry significant influence in shaping the city’s urban landscape and adjudicating key zoning matters. The Planning Commission, a five-member board, is tasked with review and advisement in areas such as rezoning, special use permits, development regulations waivers, and has a hand in architectural standards. The Zoning Board of Appeals, also a five-member entity, issues rulings on variance requests and appeals against administrative decisions, and its independence is reinforced by the fact that its rulings stand firm unless challenged in the Gwinnett County Superior Court.

Interested candidates, who must reside within Suwanee’s city limits, are urged to submit their credentials and passion for civic engagement to the Planning Department no later than 5:00 PM on December 2, 2024. Applicants should include a resume, a letter expressing their interest, and a completed application form, which can be downloaded from the city’s website. As the deadline approaches, those interested in shaping the city’s future have a short time to submit their application.

Contact details for queries are directed to Josh Campbell and Alyssa Durden, the Planning and Planning Division Directors, respectively, who can be reached at their provided emails or via direct phone lines for any questions about the application process or the boards’ responsibilities. This opportunity, as noted in thecity news post, represents a real chance for engaged residents to impact policy and contribute to the city’s growth.
