Planning Manager

The Planning Manager requires advanced professional planning experience of high complexity and variety. Some functions, such as: project manager for land use applications (ex: Short Plat, BLA and Subdivision); coordination of on-site field inspections; perform research and facilitate preparation of complex staff reports; and provide expert advice and policy recommendations to the Community Development Director, Mayor and City Council, are similar to those of the Senior Planner level; however, the Planning Manager manages and oversees the Planning Division within the larger Community Development Department. The Planning Manager may function as a deputy for the Community Development Director or even serve as Acting Director in the Director’s absence.
