RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Civil Service Commission approve the Promotional recruitment bulletin for Assistant Planner.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
In fiscal year 2022/2023, the City Council approved a reorganization of the former Community Development department which resulted in creation of the current Planning and Development Department. The Planning and Development Department (Department) is comprised of three divisions: Advanced Planning, Building Safety, and Current Planning. The Department is responsible for guiding, monitoring, and facilitating land use development within Culver City. The Assistant Planner position is assigned to the Current Planning Division (Division), and the Division maintains and implements the City’s General Plan, Zoning Ordinance, and monitors and analyzes regional planning issues to determine their impact to the City. Additionally, Current Planning staff supports the Planning Commission and City Council through the processing of rezoning, subdivisions, site plan reviews, use permits, variances, and other entitlements as part of the Active Projects in Culver City.
In October 2012, the Assistant Planner recruitment was opened with an open and competitive recruitment bulletin. The Assistant Planner position performs intermediate professional planning work using City codes, ordinances and policies, and status statues relating to planning, housing, land use development, environmental impact assessment, and zoning.
Recruitment Bulletin
The recruitment bulletin (Attachment 1) is reflective of the classification specification. We are submitting the recruitment bulletin for approval in light of opening a promotional recruitment due to a budgeted Assistant Planner position being vacant.
Bargaining Unit Representation
On Thursday, October 24, 2024, a copy of the proposed promotional recruitment bulletin was provided to Culver City Employees Association for their information.
