GOOSE CREEK, S.C.–The City of Goose Creek is seeking to fill current and upcoming vacancies on its Architectural Review Board and Planning Commission, respectively.

Both boards are made up of qualified volunteers who live in Goose Creek.

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 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.

The City’s Planning Commission identifies the needs of Goose Creek and develops long range plans for growth, development and redevelopment. The Commission creates and updates the City’s Comprehensive Plan, which is published every 10 years. 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.

Both the ARB and Planning Commission are seven-member, volunteer boards appointed by the Mayor and Goose Creek City Council. Board members must reside within City limits.
