  • Meets 4th Monday of each month at 4:00 p.m. in a hybrid format (in-person in City Council Chambers and virtually via Zoom).
  • Staff Liaison: Linda Robb, Senior Management Analyst, (310) 802-5403
  • Members serve 3-year terms. They may serve a maximum of two terms (6 years).
  • Seat 7, student representative, serves a maximum of one year.
  • It is customary for Commissioners and Boardmembers to serve on one commission at a time. Should there be an insufficient amount of applicants for the Board of Building Appeals, Resolution No. 5702 authorizes the City Council to appoint qualified members of Boards and Commissions to serve concurrently on the Board of Building Appeals, as well.

** Members appointed to fill a vacancy with less than 18 months remaining in the term are automatically reappointed to a three-year term without additional City Council action.

*** If a vacant seat had 18 months or more remaining in its original term, the member would complete the original term and then be eligible for reappointment to one succeeding three-year term.
