The city of Aurora is accepting applications now through April 25 for one vacant seat on the Planning and Zoning Commission.

Once the application period closes, the City Council will determine candidates to interview. The term of the vacant seat started in January, and once appointed, the prospective new commissioner will serve through Dec. 31, 2027.

The commission provides recommendations to the Aurora City Council on zoning and a wide range of planning- and development-related issues. Members also review site plans and use approvals, unless appealed to the City Council.

Members must be registered electors and residents of Aurora for at least one year immediately preceding the date of their appointment. No member shall hold paid office or position in the city administration. If any member ceases to be an Aurora resident, membership will terminate immediately. The term of service is three years.

To apply for the commission, call the City Clerk’s Office at 303.739.7094 or visit AuroraGov.org/Boards. 

The commission usually meets on the second and fourth Wednesday of each month at 6 p.m.
