Community Service Director Position Open In Laguna Beach

LAGUNA BEACH, CA — A comprehensive search for Laguna Beach's next Director of Community Development is underway, with hopes of identifying the current director's replacement by January 2020.

Greg Pfost, the current Community Development Director of Laguna Beach, is retiring in July of 2020, the city said.

Identifying the key replacement person will not only allow for a smooth transition period, but also for Pfost to continue work on several large Community Development projects and initiatives, the city said.

Such open projects include the Downtown Specific Plan, Historic Preservation Ordinance updates, Short-Term Lodging, and Coastal Major Remodel/Bluff-Top Setback requirements, the city said.

The Community Development Director is also responsible for working on large-scale and advanced planning projects such as updates to the City's General Plan, Downtown Specific Plan, the Landscape and Scenic Highways Element and continuous work with the California Coastal Commission.
