The Construction Permit Specialist II, on assignment to Infill, is responsible for performing technical review of plans and providing guidance to contractors, engineers, developers, and building inspectors regarding the City's infill housing program. The majority of work involves fast tracking of plans and permits for infill applicants.
This assignment reports to the Business Customer Service Center Administrator who provides policy guidance to the incumbent. Since the Business Customer Service Center/Infill Housing Program is a function out of the City Manager's Office, this assignment works with independence and discretion, and requires a thorough knowledge of the housing development process and the building trades. Work involves dealing with multiple departments to resolve technical issues.
Duties include reviewing plans for code compliance and certifying that projects meet the infill housing program requirements; checking age and boundary of adjacent properties; coordinating and participating in meeting with Development Services and the developers; serving as an advocate for the infill applicant; tracking all infill program applications; and educating customers on infill requirements and necessary changes to meet criteria. This assignment requires a working knowledge of housing foundations, footings, plumbing, electrical, mechanical, landscape, grading and drainage, and zoning requirements for housing.
This assignment is distinguished from the base class by its wide range of knowledge and independence of operation, and its high degree of accountability for compliance and fast tracking of plans and applications.
