VILLAGE PLANNING COMMISSION SEEKING CANDIDATES
The Village Planning Commission is presently seeking one regular member & at least one alternate member to replace a recent resignation of a long term member. The purpose of the Planning Commission is to conduct a Site Plan Review for new construction, additions, or alterations of commercial properties to ensure the surrounding neighbors & environment will not be adversely affected at the completion of the projects along with adhering to present zoning laws. Usually a preliminary site plan review is conducted with recommendations for modifications, after which the applicant will return for a full site plan review concluding with a vote of recommendation to the Village Board for acceptance or denial.

The planning commission may also review a Change of Use application in which one business is moving into an existing structure not presently zoned for the proposed business.

The commission works closely with the Town Building Department, the Village Zoning Board, and the Historic Preservation Commission to assure that present zoning and preservation guidelines are being followed.

Other than being a Village resident there are no stated qualifications. An interest in the on-going development of the village and to be able to relate to the Joint Comprehensive Plan recently adopted by the Town of Lancaster, Village of Lancaster, and the Village of Depew is desired. Four hours of on-line or in-person training are required annually by the state. These courses will include, but are not limited to, duties of a planning member, zoning requirements, environmental standards, and case issues.

The Planning Commission meets regularly on the third Thursday of the month at 7:00 PM in the Council Chambers of the Municipal Building; members are compensated for attendance. Letters of interest with a resume can be sent to Village Clerk at 5423 Broadway, Lancaster NY 14086. If you have questions please call the Planning Commission Chair, Jim Allein at 432-1212.
