Latest version.

  • The county board of commissioners shall appoint seven members to a community zoning board for unincorporated Fulton County. Appointments shall be made as follows:

    Each member of the county board of commissioners shall nominate, for full board approval, a member to the community zoning board. All members shall be residents of the county. The community zoning board shall review and make recommendations to the board of commissioners (as such powers are defined in this chapter) regarding properties located within, and matters affecting, unincorporated Fulton County. Members of the community zoning board will be provided periodic training, as determined by the director of the department of environment and community development.

    From the membership of the community zoning board, the board of commissioners shall appoint a chair and vice-chair, to serve no more than two years. The vice-chair may be appointed to the duties of the chair when deemed necessary by emergency or when the chair is no longer able to perform those duties assigned, as determined by the board of commissioners. The duty of the chair shall be to conduct the meetings in accordance with the procedures set forth herein, and the vice-chair shall conduct the meetings in the chair's absence. The members shall serve a term consistent with that of the member of the board of commissioners making the nomination. Members shall serve no more than two terms, either consecutive or non-consecutive.

    Members of the community zoning board serve at the pleasure of the board of commissioners and may be removed upon motion of the nominating commissioner and affirmative vote of a majority of the board of commissioners. No member of the community zoning board shall hold any other appointive or elective public office or position in unincorporated Fulton County during such member's term. Any vacancy in the membership shall be filled for the unexpired term of such vacancy in the same manner as the original appointment. An appointment to fill any vacancy on the community zoning board shall be for the remainder of the unexpired term of office. Compensation of the members of the community zoning board shall be fixed by the members of the board of commissioners.
