Planning and Development Services Department
Planning and Development Services is made up of more than 120 team members in six divisions that include planning and zoning, city design, mobility and public spaces, building, housing and community development, and operations and administration. The department’s combined budget is $33.7M for FY2024.
The city is unique: the streets are managed by an independent, countywide highway district. The Director will need to collaborate successfully with this agency, a valley-wide transit authority, and an independent urban-renewal agency. The Director will also engage and partner in cooperative working relationships with diverse constituency groups such as neighborhood associations, professional trade organizations, the public, local businesses, intergovernmental agencies, news media, elected officials, and others.
Planning and Development Services Director
The next PDS Director steps into a remarkable opportunity, strengthened by a recent adoption of a progressive zoning code that garnered resounding endorsement from both City Council and community. Moreover, the city has taken proactive strides in spearheading initiatives for affordable housing, setting an ambitious target of 1,250 affordable homes by 2027. The city is currently on track to reach its goal with 1,189 homes either under construction or in the permitting phase. In addition to these large achievements, the city has worked to reduce permitting time frames overall and has been able to slash permit times for new construction and additions by 19% from 2022 to 2023, ensuring the expedited process for our development community.
The PDS Director will actively collaborate with departments throughout the organization, employing a systems approach by removing silos to integrate people, process, and technology. This role will focus on fostering partnerships and aligning strategies to address overarching citywide issues such as climate action, equity, mobility, housing affordability, parks and open spaces, and varying infrastructure needs. The director will ensure all aspects of city planning work together cohesively to enhance the well being and quality of life of our community.
The Ideal Candidate
The preferred candidate will have a master’s degree in a related field and 10+ years of progressively responsible municipal experience in urban planning, urban renewal land use, development, inspections, housing, building regulations, comprehensive planning, and community development, in addition to knowledge of planning and development principles and practices, code administration, and ordinance development/enforcement. They should have experience working in a fast-paced environment,
dealing with the complex issues related to a rapidly growing and emerging Western city. Additionally, it is
preferred that the candidate resides in Boise, though it is not a requirement.
The ideal candidate will be a forward-thinking leader with a genuine interest in community engagement. This individual must be politically astute with proven experience in building and maintaining a broad spectrum of partnerships both internally and with the community to ensure that a common vision is enacted and supported. The city is seeking someone who can inspire others to seek out innovative and creative solutions while also fostering connections between people and their community.
The successful candidate must have the capacity and interest to be an effective mentor and leader for staff. Strong collaboration and team building skills will be necessary for this individual; advanced public presentation skills, written and oral communication skills are imperative.

The City of Boise is offering a competitive salary commensurate with experience. The salary range is listed between $175,000 - $200,000. A comprehensive benefits package available at mybenefits.cityofboise.org . Relocation assistance will also be available for the successful out-of-area candidate.
