GOOSE CREEK, S.C.–The City of Goose Creek is seeking to fill vacancies on its Planning Commission and Architectural Review Board.  Both are seven-member, volunteer boards appointed by the Mayor and Goose Creek City Council. Board members must reside within City limits.

There are three Planning Commission vacancies.

The Planning Commission identifies the needs of Goose Creek and develops long range plans for growth, development and redevelopment. It creates and updates the City’s Comprehensive Plan and zoning ordinance. In addition, it approves street names, and hears requests for property rezoning.

The Planning Commission meets at 6:30 p.m. on the first Tuesday of the month.

The City’s Architectural Review Board has one opening.

By approving applications for commercial development, the ARB plays a crucial role in keeping Goose Creek attractive to residents and businesses. The board ensures that any changes within City limits are compatible with the design guidelines set forth in Goose Creek’s zoning ordinance.

The ARB meets at 6:30 p.m. every third Monday of the month at City Hall. Attendance at other special meetings and workshops may be required. In addition to availability for meetings, ideal candidates will have a civic interest and general knowledge of the City, and be able make independent judgments. Residents with knowledge of or interest in architecture, landscape architecture or urban design are preferred, but not required.
