Want to serve your community? Want to help plan the future of Mission Valley? The Mission Valley Planning Group is looking for members to serve on its board.<\/p>\n
A general meeting and election will be held at noon Wednesday, March 2, 2016 in the Community Room at Mission Valley Library, 2123 Fenton Parkway.<\/p>\n
“The\u00a0Mission Valley Planning\u00a0Group is\u00a0the\u00a0officially recognized\u00a0volunteer body for advising and\u00a0making\u00a0recommendations on land-use matters\u00a0in the Mission Valley to the\u00a0city of San Diego,” said John Nugent, secretary of the board.<\/p>\n
The board\u2019s primary purpose is to advise the San Diego City Council, the city\u2019s Planning Commission and other governmental agencies in the initial preparation, adoption, implementation or amendment of the General Plan or Community Plan as it pertains to Mission Valley.<\/p>\n
Nugent finds public service to be rewarding and encourages other residents or business owners to give back to the community.<\/p>\n
\u201cDuring my time on the planning group, I have gained a better appreciation for and understanding of the various\u00a0regulations and laws that affect decisions being made about traffic, new construction and the path along the San Diego River,” Nugent said.<\/p>\n
“As a resident of Mission Valley, I want a voice in the quality of life for me and my grandchildren. Serving on the planning group has enabled me to add value to the community and I am able to serve as a source of information for other residents of the Mission Valley as to what is happening and to the \u2018whys\u2019 and \u2018hows\u2019 behind some land-use decisions.”<\/p>\n
Only general members who have attended a minimum of two meetings of the MVPG in the 12 months prior to the February 2016 regular monthly meeting qualify to fill any board position, according to John Nugent, secretary of the board.<\/p>\n
Attendance at the required meetings must be documented in the minutes of the meetings. Each term is for four years \u2014 expiring in March 2020 \u2014 and three positions will be filled in the general election in each of the following classifications:<\/p>\n
