CLEARLAKE, Calif. – The Clearlake City Council is seeking applications from Clearlake citizens for a seat on the planning commission with a four-year term expiring in March 2023.

Planning commissioners hear and act upon land use matters and are advisory to the Clearlake City Council on zoning regulations, the general plan, and other land use issues.

Commissioners serve at the will of the Clearlake City Council and are designated filers under the Fair Political Practices Commission and must file periodic statements of economic interest disclosing financial interests within the jurisdiction of the city.

“The Planning Commission plays a vital role in deciding Clearlake’s future development successes,” said City Manager Alan Flora. “Any Clearlake citizen who is interested in being a part of Clearlake’s upcoming opportunities should apply.”

Applications are available at Clearlake City Hall, 14050 Olympic Drive, on the city’s Web site at www.clearlake.ca.us or via email to Administrative Services Director/City Clerk Melissa Swanson at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

The Clearlake City Council will consider applications at its Nov. 14 meeting.

Deadline for applications to be included in the city council meeting packet is Nov. 7 at 5 p.m.
