Shoreline Development Analyst - San Francisco Bay Conservation & Development Commission

Who: San Francisco Bay Conservation & Development Commission

What: The award-winning San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission (BCDC) is a small state agency located in downtown San Francisco. BCDC has planning and regulatory responsibility over development located in and around San Francisco Bay, one of the most urbanized estuaries in North America. BCDC is offering an exciting opportunity to participate in shaping the development of the Bay’s shoreline, with particular focus on providing world-class public spaces and opportunities for people to enjoy and experience San Francisco Bay.

BCDC’s Shoreline Development Analyst will analyze and provide recommendations to the Executive Director and the 27-member Commission on proposals involving a wide range of development types, including:

• mixed-use residential and commercial developments
  
• shoreline parks and open spaces
  
• San Francisco Bay Trail extensions and improvements
  
• commercial recreation facilities, including marinas marine industrial facilities
  
• transportation facilities
  
• seaport and airport development restoration and resource protection efforts

You will be responsible for reviewing proposals for development projects along the Bay shoreline. Through every project, you will explore opportunities to expand public access to the Bay shoreline and encourage development of new shoreline public access facilities. You will also look at the resiliency of proposed shoreline development to future flooding from sea level rise, and help permit applicants ensure that their project can adapt to rising tides.

Essential job duties will include:

• Research and analyze complex development proposals and guide permit applicants and stakeholders on project issues in relation to BCDC’s laws, policies, and regulations.
  
• Write permits, correspondence, and reports on proposed projects—including those proposed by the federal government, private and public sectors, and nongovernmental organizations—and policy and regulatory issues.
  
• Negotiate with project proponents and stakeholders.
  
• Lead and participate in meetings, planning and policy discussions, site visits, and workshops.
  
• Review and comment upon local, state, and federal planning and regulatory documents, and environmental impact reports.
