Brennan and Burgett will be sworn in on March 5 and will join five others commission: Chairman Doug Barth, Vince Vanderlip, Darrel Cooper, John Donaldson and Bob Rollins. The two vacancies were created by commissioner Steve Gregory being appointed to city council in December and Al Garcia’s retirement from the commission this month.

Burgett is the CEO of RLS Industries of Bakersfield, owner of Creekside Bed and Breakfast in Paso Robles, and a major in the US Marine Corps Reserve. He and his wife Amy have a daughter.

The planning commission consists of seven members. The commission meets the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of each month at 7:30 p.m. in the City Hall Conference Center.

The commission is responsible for approving, conditionally approving, or denying parcel maps, subdivisions, conditional use permits, zone variances, planned developments, and site plans. The commission also has a specific role in the formation of redevelopment project area. Further, the planning commission can make recommendations to the city council on legislative matters and the acquisition and disposition of property by the city.
