The Planning Commission will conduct public hearings on all planning land use entitlements, either as the adopting body or an advisory body to the City Council, depending on the type of application. Matters subject to the Planning Commission include tentative parcel maps, conditional use permits, and design reviews. The current Planning Commissioners are Oleksii Chuiko, Shannon Shaw, and Diego Verduzco, all of whom have four-year terms that expire in October 2025, and Hugh Henderson and Leonard Price, who have two -year terms that expire in October 2023. A key element of the Planning Commission is creating another forum, in addition to City Council meetings, for inviting civic engagement from the community. As stewards of public service, the Planning Commission and supporting staff aim to gain the public trust through fairness, compassion, and respect for others, and by showing integrity, responsibility, and vision in all advisory and decision-making roles,” said Oakley Planning Manager Ken Strelo. Planning Commission meetings are open to the public and are scheduled for the first Tuesday of each month at 6:30 p.m. and are held at City Hall, 3231 Main Street.
