Three and a half years ago, Mayor Quan’s first appointment to Oakland’s Planning Commission was Chris Pattillo. Chris’s peers picked her as chair in 2013 and supported a second term that runs through June 2015. As a member of the Commission, Chris has contributed to six specific plans that are being developed for West Oakland, the Broadway-Valdez neighborhood, the Lake Merritt-Chinatown area, and Coliseum City. As chair, Chris advocated for a new Commissioner training manual and sought to inject a more respectful and responsive approach to public input.
