Residents are civic-minded and embrace traditions while also looking for opportunities to innovate and grow together as a community. With approximately 11,000 residents, the City is located in the beautiful Oakland hills, overlooking the San Francisco Bay. Aptly named "Piedmont," or "foot of the mountain," its most distinct features are gardens, bridges, parks, and schools that create a special sense of place. In 1907, residents voted to incorporate as the City of Piedmont, and in 1923 Piedmont became a Charter City. Today, efforts are underway to usher in Piedmont's vision for the future. Accessible and participatory government are centerpieces of the City's approach. The establishment of an ambitious array of programs associated with the 6th Cycle Housing Element are in progress, and the City will soon launch its search for a development partner for new housing in Moraga Canyon for people of all income levels. Practicing good governance, advancing quality of life, and becoming a more diverse, inclusive, and welcoming community are priorities. The Planning & Building Director serves as the administrative head of the City's Planning & Building Department and is responsible for the full scope of departmental operations, including planning, building, land use, zoning, code enforcement, and sustainability initiatives. The opening presents an excellent opportunity to build upon a strong foundation in a stable organization. The salary for the Planning and Building Director will be $222,272.28 effective July 1, 2026. The City also offers an attractive benefits package. If you are interested in this outstanding opportunity, please visit our website at www.bobmurrayassoc.com to apply online.
