(A)
There shall be a Planning and Zoning Board consisting of seven members. Five members, appointed by the Board of Aldermen, shall reside within the town. Two members, appointed by the County Board of Commissioners, shall reside within the town's extraterritorial planning area. If the County Board fails to make these appointments within 90 days after receiving a resolution from the Board of Aldermen requesting that they be made, the Town Board may make them. Members may be removed by the appointing authority at any time for failure to attend three consecutive meetings without excuse or for failure to attend 30% or more of the meetings within any 12-month period or, after a hearing, for other good cause related to performance of duties. All members shall have demonstrated special interest, experience or education in banking, economics, environmental and land use policy, housing or industry. The Board of Aldermen may establish reasonable procedures to solicit, review, and make appointments.
(B) Planning and Zoning Board members shall be appointed for three-year staggered terms, but members may continue to serve until their successors have been appointed. All appointments to fill vacancies shall be for the unexpired terms only.
(C) All members may participate in and vote on all issues before the Board, regardless of whether the issue affects property within the town or within the extraterritorial planning area.
