JOB SUMMARY:

The part-time Planning Intern will create illustrations to support and clarify the regulations of the Land Management Code, including building massing, architectural features, and landscaping concepts.

Limited graphics may be incorporated into the Land Management Code, and others will be used to illustrate design guidelines, staff reports, and presentations.

• Maintain a consistent style across all illustrations, including standardized line weights, restrained color palette, unified typography and labeling, and consistent drawing type (elevation, section, or axonometric as directed).
• Base all drawings on accurate, code-compliant dimensions and realistic proportions, reflecting correct relationships between structures, grade, and streets.
• Coordinate closely with Planning staff through iterative review to verify assumptions, dimensional accuracy, and policy alignment.
• Incorporate consolidated feedback and deliver revised and final files according to agreed-upon deadlines.

• Bachelor’s Degree or 3+ years’ experience in a related field.
• Proficiency in Adobe Illustrator, AutoCAD, SketchUp, or other similar software
