"Not long after Anthony Tordillos won the June special election for the District 3 San Jose City Council seat, he had to vacate his role on the Planning Commission. His commission seat has been vacant for nearly three months, leaving downtown without a voice on an influential government body that helps steer the city's land-use decisions. As of this week, the process to appoint Tordillos' replacement appears to be moving forward."
"The District 3 office, which represents San Jose's downtown core, received a batch of seven planning commissioner applications Wednesday from the city clerk, according to a Tordillos spokesperson. The spokesperson declined to provide details on the applicants. The application period closed Sept. 30, after which the City Attorney's Office vetted applicants to identify any potential conflicts of interest. Now it's up to Tordillos to select a nominee, who must live in District 3, and then for the city council to make the final decision."
