This is a professional advanced journey-level classification in the Planner series. Incumbents work under general supervision from the Planning Manager and exercise a high level of discretion and independent judgment in performing the full range of routine to complex planning functions, with a primary emphasis on current and advance planning and environmental impact, protection, and compliance issues.  Incumbents also provide lead direction to clerical, technical and professional level staff. Successful performance of the work requires a broad professional background as well as skill in coordinating assigned work with that of other City departments and public agencies. Responsibilities may include assisting with performing specified departmental day-to-day administrative functions. 

The Position

The Assistant/Associate Planning position is a full-time position appointed by Planning Manager and Community and Economic Development Director; it is an non-exempt, SEIU classification.  This is an exciting time for planning in East Palo Alto.  The City is in process of updating the Ravenswood Business District Specific Plan, a designated Priority Development Area. The City is also processing multiple applications for large mixed use projects, housing and office developments. Planners will have the opportunity to work on complex and varied projects in an environment with a diverse and engaged community. 

Assistant Planner:  This is the first experienced-level class in the professional planning series.  Initially under general supervision, incumbents with basic planning experience perform professional and technical planning work in current, advance, and/or environmental planning activities.  As experience is gained, assignments become more varied and are performed with greater independence.  Positions at this level usually perform most of the duties required of the positions at the Associate level but are not expected to function at the same skill level and usually exercise less independent discretion and judgment in matters related to work procedures and methods.  Work is usually supervised while in progress and fits an established structure or pattern.  Exceptions or changes in procedures are explained in detail as they arise.

Associate Planner:  This is the full journey-level class in the professional planning series.  Incumbents are expected to perform the full range of professional and technical planning work in all of the following areas: current, advance, and/or environmental planning activities and daily departmental operations, in addition to providing project management and administration.  Positions at this level are distinguished from the Assistant level by the performance of the full range of duties as assigned, working independently, and exercising judgment and initiative.  Positions at this level receive only occasional instruction or assistance as new or unusual situations arise and are fully aware of the operating procedures and policies of the work unit.  This class is distinguished from the Senior Planner in that the latter is the advanced journey-level class in the series and is responsible for organizing, assigning, and reviewing the work of departmental and/or contract staff involved in a major area of the Planning Division, in addition to performing the more complex planning and project management activities.

Positions in the professional planner class series are flexibly staffed and positions at the Associate level are normally filled by advancement from the Assistant level requiring two (2) years of experience at the Assistant-level and after gaining the knowledge, skill, experience, licenses, and certifications which meet the qualifications for and after demonstrating the ability to perform the work of the higher-level class.
