Planning Commission Seeks APFO Advisory Committee Members
Rockville’s Adequate Public Facilities Ordinance has been at issue for a number of months now. The Planning Commission has decided to establish an advisory committee on the APFO to look at whether changes are needed, and what those changes might look like. Citizens are being invited to express interest.
Here’s the release from the City:
The Rockville Planning Commission is accepting applications for an advisory committee that will examine the City’s Adequate Public Facilities Ordinance (APFO).
The APFO ensures that public facilities and services, including transportation, public schools, fire and emergency service, and water and sewer service are sufficient for the impact of new development. Rockville’s APFO was adopted five years ago.
The committee will review the effectiveness of the APFO and make recommendations to the Planning Commission, who will, in turn, make recommendations to the Mayor and Council.
The Planning Commission is seeking up to nine members for the new committee, which will meet for six months. Once formed, the committee will determine a meeting schedule. Anyone who is interested may apply.
To apply, submit an application form and resume by Nov. 15 to David Hill, chairman, Planning Commission, City Hall, 111 Maryland Ave., Rockville, MD 20850, or by e-mail to [email protected].
Application forms, as well as the Planning Commission’s mission statement for the committee, are available online.
The application deadline has been extended until Monday, November 29th.
