SEC. 3.1-335. PLANNING DEPARTMENT.
§ 3.1-335
Planning Department employees and officials must disclose financial interests in real estate and related businesses according to assigned disclosure categories. Most positions require Category 1 disclosure (narrower), while Planner Technicians and Community Development Assistants require Category 2 disclosure (broader, including all real property interests and real estate-related income).
People who work for the Planning Department have to tell the city about their money and business connections that could create conflicts of interest. The rule lists each job title and says which level of disclosure that job requires. Most planners and managers use Category 1 (basic disclosure). Planner Technicians and Community Development Assistants use Category 2, which means they have to report all their real estate holdings and income from real estate businesses like development, architecture, design, or brokerage.
- Complex:The section mixes a definition of Category 2 with a lengthy table of positions and their assigned categories, making the overall structure harder to parse and the relationship between the text and table unclear.
