North Ventura Coordinated Area Plan Working Group

City of Palo Alto

In May 2018, I was appointed to the North Ventura Coordinated Area Plan (NVCAP) Working Group as a community member who worked in the NVCAP boundaries. We had our first working group meeting in the fall of 2018. I attended two working group meetings before being appointed to the Planning & Transportation Commission (PTC). As there was already a PTC representative on the working group, I resigned from the NVCAP in January.
