Job Description:

The Rancho Santa Fe Association manages the community of Rancho Santa Fe. The Association was incorporated in July of 1927 as a California nonprofit corporation for the purpose of managing the planned community of Rancho Santa Fe. In 1928, property owners entered into a mutual agreement to preserve and maintain the character of the community and its rare landscape features. That mutual agreement was called the “Protective Covenant”, which remains as the principal governing document for the community. Although technically a Homeowners Association, the Rancho Santa Fe Association functions very much like a small city, with a building and planning department, parks and recreation department, and 24-hour-a-day security services.

  • Special projects in support or furtherance of Association policies and goals;
  • Reviewing and analyzing regional plans and projects that have local impacts and generally tracking development in adjacent jurisdictions;
  • Amending and updating the Regulatory Code and other Association publications, guidelines, procedures and maps;
  • Organizing and maintaining Association files regarding general building, planning, and land use projects overseen by the Association; and
  • Organizing and conducting occasional special meetings, workshops and hearings.

Qualifications/Requirements:

  • At least 1 year of broad planning experience with an understanding of technical and general land use planning principles (education in a related field may count towards the 1 year of experience);
