What You’ll Do

The Assistant Planner/Associate Planner performs professional level work in the field of current planning and/or advance planning to promote the City’s Mission and Values. The current vacancy may be filled at either level based on experience.

Assistant Planner - is the entry level class in the professional planning series and is distinguished from the Associate Planner by the performance of less complex tasks and duties in the fields of current or advance planning, which require the application of fundamental planning principles. Assignments are generally limited in scope and within the design and procedural framework established by higher level employees. However, as experience is acquired, the employee performs with increasing independence. Since this class is typically used as a continued training class, employees may have only limited work experience.

Associate Planner - is the journey level class in the professional planning series and employees within this class are distinguished from the Assistant Planner by the performance of the full range of duties as assigned, which require the application of professional knowledge and skills to various municipal planning, zoning, and environmental problems and the preparation of specific reports and plans. The position provides opportunity for independent judgment in planning work details and making technical determinations. Work in this class is distinguished from that of Assistant Planner by the greater complexity of assignments including preparing zoning code and general plan amendment studies, and by the greater independence with which the incumbent is expected to operate. Employees 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. Positions in this class are flexibly staffed and are normally filled by advancement from the lower class of Assistant Planner or, when filled from the outside, require prior professional planning work experience.

The Assistant Planner receives general supervision from a Senior Planner or higher level department personnel. The Associate Planner receives direction from a Senior Planner or higher level department personnel and may exercise technical and functional supervision over lower level staff as assigned.

Senior Planner
Annual Salary: $118,354 - $159,778 (DOQ)
Closing Date: July 14, 2024

Welcome to the Senior Planner recruitment announcement for the Town of Los Altos Hills. The Town of Los Altos Hills is a small community in the heart of Silicon Valley with just over 8,400 residents. The town’s residents are some of the world’s best and brightest in their fields, and the same is true of its staff and leadership team, who are looking to add a dedicated planning professional to its community development team.

Los Altos Hills is known for its residential feel, highlighted by one-acre estate lots, a rural focus, and a network of pathways and trails to keep residents active and connected. Don’t let this fool you into thinking there isn’t much going on in Los Altos Hills. While the town’s size and residential makeup lend itself to a relaxed work environment and steady pace of work, the town is a leader in the Bay Area, being one of the first municipalities to adopt and implement its sixth-cycle Housing Element and to enact new legislation, a first in California, to curb climate change. While other jurisdictions are stepping back, the Town of Los Altos Hills is standing up, working with industry leaders, our City Council, and residents to build a more sustainable and resilient community. Los Altos Hills is focused on enhancing the quality of life for its residents and staff.

Los Altos Hills operates under a city council/city manager form of government, with the city council comprised of five members elected at large, and a new council member appointed as mayor each year. The town boasts thirteen separate committees and commissions, including the planning commission that helps the city council and staff lead the way. The city council and planning commission are helmed by thoughtful and supportive representatives that this position will undoubtedly interact and team with to continue to protect and improve our community. The most prominent committees for the planning division are Environmental Design & Protection, History, Open Space, and Pathways, all of which can play a part in public outreach and provide feedback for projects. Town residents are known for their spirit of community volunteerism and are encouraged to become active in Town governance, serve on the various committees, and participate in local events. This inclusive, open style of governance is embraced by the residents and is part of what makes Los Altos Hills a unique and progressive town.

Added support for the senior planning position comes from the staff itself. With a city manager focused on supportive environment that grows up and coming leaders and a new Community Development Director and Assistant who have decades of experience in Planning, Building, and Code Enforcement—the divisions that make up the Community Development Department—this position will have no shortage of like-minded professionals focused on transparency and accountability in both long-range and current planning efforts to help guide and support the new senior planner.

This position will focus on long-range planning while existing staff focuses on continuity within current planning. Long-range planning efforts also have the benefit of utilizing consultants and subject matter experts to help develop and refine the town’s programs and initiatives as we work through the implementation of the housing element and other long-range planning efforts like updates to the town’s general plan, zoning and objective design standards, hazard mitigation, and emergency operation plans.
