Responsibilities:

The Planner 2 will be involved in a wide range of development proposals throughout the City that encompass complex zoning, environmental, financial, real estate, neighborhood character, and urban design issues. Under supervision, the Planner 2 will:

  • Project manage applications for variances and special permits and coordinate with applicants, Board staff, other city agencies, community boards and the public;
  • Analyze environmental review documents to determine compliance with City Environmental Quality Review (CEQR);
  • Interface with other agencies on the review of technical documents including transportation, air-quality, noise, hazardous materials, historic resources etc.;
  • Provide and obtain technical information and assist applicants in the preparation of required documents;
  • Conduct land use, finance and real estate research and analysis, and prepare written and graphic information as requested by the Board Chair.
