　　Job Description The Loudoun County Department of Planning and Zoning is seeking qualified applicants for the position of Planner II within the Proffer Management Division. The Division responsibilities support the implementation of the County’s Comprehensive Plan through tracking, inventorying, auditing, and enforcing proffers approved by the Board of Supervisors. Assignments may include: reviewing land development applications for proffer compliance; updating the County’s LandMARC database to reflect proffer audit findings; entering approved proffers and conditions to LandMARC for tracking; communicating deficiencies of proffer compliance to engineers, attorneys, development representatives, and general contractors for resolution; conducting audits to ensure proffers/conditions have been fulfilled prior to project build out and bond release; preparing requests for proffered right-of-way in support of County and VDOT road projects; preparing zoning determinations, which provide interpretations of approved proffer language on behalf of the Zoning Administrator; preparing cash proffer determinations in support of budget allocations for the County’s Capital Improvement Program; preparing reports and audits for the Zoning Administrator, Director of Planning and Zoning, County Administration, the Transportation and Land Use Committee, and/or the Board of Supervisors; assisting the public and County staff with proffer inquiries; investigating complaints of non-compliance; and managing the resolution of proffer issues. The position provides opportunities to attain substantial experience in understanding the full scope of land development from reviewing conceptual development proposals requesting entitlements to verifying that the project complies with County requirements.

　　Loudoun has been one of the fastest growing communities of its size for more than two decades and has developed a unique combination of compact, suburban communities in the east and distinctly rural communities in the west. This has created a dynamic planning environment with historic towns; established suburban neighborhoods; new town centers featuring a mix of retail, entertainment, employment, and housing; rich natural amenities; and a vibrant rural economy with a growing number of farms, craft breweries, and wineries. The arrival of Washington Metrorail service to eastern Loudoun in 2021 has created ongoing planning and economic development opportunities and challenges, necessitating energetic and innovative planning staff to help shape developing transit-oriented urban centers.

　　Preferred qualifications include American Institute of Certified Planners (AICP), Certified Zoning Official (CZO) certification from the Virginia Association of Zoning Officials (VAZO), experience in local government planning organizations, and knowledge of planning and land use practices in Virginia.
