Principal Planner
for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections when posting has real specific content.
We have summary: Under general direction... performs professional and administrative work in the field of planning. That's about the role. So we can have About the role
with a
containing that summary. Essential Job Duties: list of duties. Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we need a Responsibilities section with list items for each duty.
Minimum Qualifications: includes required Bachelor's degree, 5 years experience, etc. Also Preferred Master's, etc. That's qualifications. Could be Requirements and Qualifications sections? The instruction says use headings for Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide what content maps to which.
We have Minimum Qualifications (required) and Preferred qualifications. Could put under Requirements (maybe required) and Qualifications (preferred). Or combine. But we need to avoid filler.
We also have Knowledge, Skills And Abilities: that's Skills.
Physical Demands and Environmental Conditions: maybe not needed as separate headings; they could be omitted if not matching headings. The instruction: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. We have content for Physical Demands and Environmental Conditions, but no heading matches exactly. Could we put them under a generic section? Not allowed; only those headings. So we might omit them because they don't fit headings. However we must preserve ALL substantive information; cannot drop info. But we could incorporate them into existing sections like Responsibilities or Skills? Probably better to include them under a section like "Working Conditions" but not allowed. The instruction says use those headings for section headings; but we could still include other headings? It says: Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It implies those are the allowed headings; we should not create other headings. So we need to map all info into those categories. Physical Demands and Environmental Conditions could go under Responsibilities? Not really. Could go under Skills? Not really. Could go under Requirements? Not really. Maybe we can include them in a
under About the role? Might be okay to add extra paragraphs after the heading. The instruction: Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but says use
for section headings (e.g. ...). It might be okay to use other headings but they gave examples. Safer to stick to those. We could incorporate Physical Demands and Environmental Conditions into a
under About the role or Responsibilities as additional description. That preserves info. Now Benefits, Pay, Schedule: posting does not mention any. So we should NOT include those sections. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. Now we need to extract content. About the role: summary paragraph. Responsibilities: list of essential job duties. We need to preserve all duties. Let's list them as bullet points. From text: - Collects, compiles, tabulate and analyze data and factual materials fundamental to a comprehensive planning program. - Assists in the formulation and administration of the City's Comprehensive Plan and Land Development Regulations. - Researches and prepares zoning and land development regulations consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and presents to the Planning and Zoning Board and the City Council for consideration. - Prepares and processes Comprehensive Plan amendments through the appropriate State, Regional, County and City entities. - Conducts planning and zoning studies. - Reviews site and permit plans for compliance with all applicable regulations. - Responds to email, telephone, or in-person inquiries; greets the public, development industry, and city officials; handles citizen complaints; disseminates information on planning, zoning, and development regulations; provides information on departmental services and functions. - Administers and coordinates the activities of subordinate personnel engaged in current and long-range planning. - Coordinates review of plans under the City’s Redevelopment Review Process and serves as Technical Advisory Committee Chairperson. - Coordinates the preparation of Board agendas, public notices and staff reports.

This work includes the preparation of memorandums, resolutions, ordinances and related back-up materials. - Represents the City at various regional and county land use and transportation planning technical committees. - Assists the Planning, Zoning & Building Director in planning, organizing, assigning, directing, and reviewing the activities of professional, technical, and clerical in the Planning and Urban Design Division. - Represents the City at various regional and county land use and transportation planning technical committees. (duplicate) - Interacts and works with county, regional, state, special districts, civic associations, and other private organizations. - Must effectively and positively represent the City in delivering and performing work with colleagues and clients, irrespective of gender, race, religion, age, disability, political affiliation or belief, or sexual orientation. - Must establish and maintain effective and professional relationships with work colleagues, supervisors and managers. - Performs related work as required. We have duplicate line about representing the City at various regional... appears twice; we should keep only one instance (remove duplicated lines). Also note "Must effectively and positively represent..." is more of a requirement but appears in duties; we can keep. Now Requirements: Minimum Qualifications required: Bachelor's Degree from an accredited college or university in Planning, Public Administration, Social Sciences, Architecture, Landscape Architecture, Urban Design, or closely related field; Five (5) years of comprehensive planning experience, current planning, urban design, or landscape architecture. Also note "Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions." That's a generic statement; could be included but it's boilerplate? Might be considered EEO? It's about accommodations; maybe keep as part of Requirements. Qualifications: Preferred: Master's Degree; Six (6) years of comprehensive planning experience, current planning, urban design or landscape architecture; AICP certification. Also "Additional education and experience or an equivalent combination of training and experience may be substituted for the above requirements." That's also qualifications. Skills: Knowledge, Skills And Abilities list. Let's extract: - Considerable knowledge of the principles and practices of comprehensive, urban, and environmental planning and zoning. - Considerable knowledge of the laws, ordinances, and codes relating to land use plans and development regulations. - Knowledge of “Green” building concepts and techniques. - Knowledge of economics, public finance and sociology as it applies to urban planning. - Ability to work with city, county, state, and federal agencies in implementing plans relating to planning, streetscapes, landscaping, and urban design. - Ability to supervise, oversee and evaluate the work of subordinate personnel. - Ability to prepare, evaluate and present oral and written reports based on research and special studies. - Ability to express ideas clearly and concisely, graphically, orally and in writing. - Ability to read and understand plats, maps, architectural drawings, and similar relevant documents. - Knowledge of software packages such as Microsoft Office, Adobe Suites, GIS, and the techniques of preparing maps and charts. - Ability to establish and maintain effective and professional working relationships with colleagues, supervisors, administration, and the general public. Also Physical Demands and Environmental Conditions we could embed maybe as a paragraph under Skills? But better to add a short paragraph under About the role or Responsibilities? Could add a separate section? Not allowed. We'll add a paragraph under About the role after the summary, describing physical demands and environmental conditions. Now we need to output HTML fragment only, no /, no markdown. We'll structure:
