The Richmond Design Review Board, the body that determines what Richmond’s built environment will look like, currently has one vacant seat. The position need not be an architect or other design professional, but the applicant should be familiar with reading and interpreting architectural drawings. Most importantly, the applicant should care passionately about the future of Richmond.

Applications may be obtained from the City Clerk at 510/620-6503. Nominations are made by the mayor and ratified by the City Council.
