ITEMS REQUIRING ACTION BY THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
Request for Zoning & Planner Career Ladder Salary Administration Program Changes –
Planning Technician I – II, Zoning Inspector I – II & Deputy Zoning Administrator
Planning Director Wyatt Pearson presented a proposal to add the following classifications to the Planning &
Development Department: Planning Technician I, Planning Technician II, Zoning Inspector I, Zoning Inspector II, and
Deputy Zoning Administrator. No funding is requested at this time, and no changes are proposed to existing
positions.
The request is tied to the department’s continued transition toward digital records management and online
application submissions. As these processes expand, traditional clerical tasks have declined while planner-related
functions and customer service demands have increased. The proposed Planning Technician classifications would
provide flexibility to upskill support staff to assist with land use applications and respond to planning and zoning
inquiries, helping balance workloads in a cost-efficient manner.
The proposed two-tier structure for Zoning Inspector I and II would provide greater flexibility when recruiting
candidates with varying levels of experience. The proposed Deputy Zoning Administrator position is intended to
support succession planning and provide operational depth due to the volume of work handled by the Zoning
Administrator. The Planning Director is not requesting authorization to fill or fund any of these positions at this
time.
Proposed Amendment to Salary Administrative Program
Title Department Range Salary Range
PLANNING TECHNICIAN I PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT 208 $42,080 to $69,357
PLANNING TECHNICIAN II PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT 209 $44,185 to $72,825
ZONING INSPECTOR I PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT 215 $59,211 to $97,592
ZONING INSPECTOR II PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT 216 $62,172 to $102,471
DEPUTY ZONING ADMINISTRATOR PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT 217 $65,280 to $107,595
The committee recommends approval, 4 in favor & 0 against.
