On Monday the Livermore City Council consolidated the Planning Commission and Design Review Committee. The action is aimed at improving the efficiency of the design review process by having a single body address both land use and design issues. Property owners could benefit by eliminating steps in the project entitlement process and the City of Livermore will benefit by reducing its administrative burden.
A temporary side-effect of the consolidation is that the Planning Commission will grow to eight members but, according to city staff, will eventually return to five members by 2015.
REALTOR® Impact: Consolidating the Planning Commission and Design Review Committee could reduce the time it takes for development applications to be reviewed and approved, making it easier and less costly for property owners to do business with city hall.
