Placer County Community Development Resource Agency (CDRA) is hiring a Planner - Associate to be assigned to the North Lake Tahoe area.
With 1,400 square miles of the most beautiful and diverse geography in Northern California, Placer County stretches for a hundred miles from urban South Placer, through Western Placer, to the High Sierras of North Lake Tahoe and the Nevada state line. Placer County is a great place to live, work, play and learn. This opportunity in the Lake Tahoe area offers numerous recreational activities year round such as skiing at one of its many premier ski resorts, boating the waters of Lake Tahoe, rafting the Truckee River, cycling, or hiking miles of trails.
CDRA provides long-range planning and development review services to Placer County to meet the needs of our residents, businesses, developers, and visitors while preserving our environment and natural resources. The Placer County Board of Supervisors and the Placer County Planning Commission through CDRA and its Planning Division ensures that the land use development in the unincorporated areas contribute to the County's natural, social, and economic health now and into the future. The Tahoe CDRA Planning Division provides planning services in northern Placer County, including the Tahoe Basin.
This is a journey level professional position responsible for planning services which include customer service, completing plan checks, processing Tahoe Regional Planning Agency (TRPA) permits, processing applications, applying the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and assisting with the preparation and review of plans and other documents related to land use, environmental protection, economic development, and environmental compliance. With an office in Tahoe City, California, this position is responsible for administering applicable planning ordinances, TRPA regulations, and State and Federal statues to ensure that the development needs are balanced with preserving the beauty of the North Lake Tahoe area for residents, businesses, and visitors. With a newly adopted Tahoe Basin Area Plan, this is an exciting time to work for Placer County.
