Land Development Regulation Commission
The Land Development Regulation Commission (LDRC) is the commission that has the most impact on how Marion County grows. The LDRC makes recommendations in regards to the adoption and amendment of the Land Development Code and the Zoning Code.
Opening:
If you have expertise in planning, environmental science, agriculture, or the development industry, then the Land Development Regulation Commission (LDRC) is for you!
The LDRC’s role in shaping future growth is even more important now, as the County is updating its policies in the Comprehensive Plan through the Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR). The Comprehensive Plan is like a road map for the community and it will guide where and how Marion County grows over the next 20 years.
If you meet the qualifications and are willing to volunteer your time, then we encourage you to apply. If you have previously applied and were not selected, your previous application to the LDRC will stay active for one year from the date that it was submitted. If a previous applicant wants to be considered for the current LDRC vacancy, they must send an email to CommissionAdmin@MarionFL.org stating that they would like their previous application to be considered.
