Description The Montgomery County Planning Department is seeking an experienced planner to supervise the Zoning, Public Projects, and Agricultural Initiatives team within our Upcounty Planning Division. Upcounty Planning is responsible for nearly two-thirds of the land area in Montgomery County, including Fairland Briggs Chaney, Burtonsville, Ashton-Sandy Spring, Olney, Damascus, Clarksburg, Germantown, Potomac, Darnestown, and the Agricultural Reserve. Montgomery Planning is part of The Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission (M-NCPPC). For over 95 years, M-NCPPC has had a national reputation for excellence in planning, and today serves a culturally diverse population of over one million people on the border of Washington, D.C. in Montgomery County. We provide county-wide planning functions including long-range planning, as well as reviews of development applications in diverse built environments of downtown urban districts, suburban communities, and agricultural areas. We have pioneered nationally modeled programs in agricultural preservation, inclusionary housing, and transit-oriented design. To learn more about who we are and what we do, we encourage you to watch this brief video here and visit our website at www.montgomeryplanning.org. This is an opportunity to lead a section within the Upcounty Division by supervising: the review of zoning applications, development review applications, and mandatory referrals; various agricultural initiatives, including but not limited to implementation and improvement of the Transfer of Development Rights and Building Lot Termination Programs, implementation of the 2019 Agritourism Study, and monitoring and supporting the County's solar program goals on agricultural lands while preserving agriculture as the primary use in the Agricultural Reserve. Additionally, this Supervisor will assist the Division Chief in implementing Thrive by crafting, responding to, and communicating various policy recommendations, and in developing and implementing the annual work program. Given the history and nature of the Agricultural Reserve, this position will require frequent coordination and communication with Councilmembers, Councilmember staff, and various knowledgeable and passionate community groups and stakeholders.
