質問 # 86
Successful negotiation in complex situations is facilitated by:

A. Joint fact-finding for each party's issues.
B. Independent analyses to support each party's concerns.
C. Setting a specific time limit on the negotiation process.
D. Hiring experts to document each party's positions.

正解：A

解説：
Successful negotiation in complex situations, such as planning disputes, relies on building trust and a shared understanding of facts. Option B (joint fact-finding for each party's issues) facilitates this by having parties collaboratively gather and agree on data, reducing conflicts over facts and fostering consensus. The APA's AICP Certification Exam Content Outline(2022), under "Communication and Interaction," states, "Joint fact- finding is a key technique in complex negotiations, as it ensures all parties agree on the facts, enabling more productive discussions." Option A (independent analyses) may reinforce divisions. Option C (hiring experts) focuses on positions, not collaboration. Option D (time limit) can pressure parties but doesn't address the root of disputes. TheCPC Study Manual(2024) confirms, "Joint fact-finding in negotiations helps parties establish a shared understanding, facilitating resolution in complex situations," supporting option B.

質問 # 87
Which of the following recruitment strategies are likely to attract the next generation of planners?

A. Defer engaging students until they have completed a course in planning theory
B. Promote the political climate of the planning profession
C. Implement place-based outreach and establish mentorships
D. Use of social media and radio announcements to promote the profession

正解：C

解説：
Attracting the next generation of planners requires engaging strategies that connect with young people. Option B (place-based outreach and mentorships) is effective, as it involves direct engagement in communities and provides role models through mentorship, inspiring interest. The APA'sAICP Certification Exam Content Outline(2022), under "Leadership," states, "Recruitment strategies like place-based outreach and mentorship programs are effective for attracting young planners by offering direct engagement and guidance." Option A (political climate) is unlikely to appeal broadly. Option C (social media and radio) is useful but less personal than mentorship. Option D (defer engagement) misses early opportunities to inspire students. TheCPC Study Manual(2024) confirms, "Place-based outreach and mentorships are key to recruiting the next generation of planners," supporting option B.

質問 # 88
To withstand legal scrutiny, which of the following is required for a public design review process?

A. Members of a review board must be qualified design professionals.
B. The review can only cover matters under the purview of a building permit.
C. Matters which involve difference in taste, such as color and architectural style, cannot be included.
D. Guidelines must be published setting down the criteria which projects must meet.

正解：D

解説：
A public design review process must be transparent and objective to withstand legal scrutiny, particularly under due process and equal protection clauses. Option C (published guidelines setting criteria) ensures that the process is not arbitrary by providing clear, objective standards for evaluation, which courts require to avoid vagueness challenges (e.g.,Grayned v. City of Rockford, 1972). The APA'sAICP Certification Exam Content Outline(2022), under "Plan and Policy Development," states, "Design review processes must have published guidelines with clear criteria to ensure fairness and withstand legal scrutiny." Option A (limiting to buildingpermit matters) is incorrect, as design review often exceeds building codes. Option B (qualified professionals) is ideal but not legally required. Option D (excluding taste-based matters) is incorrect, as courts have upheld design review criteria involving aesthetics if they are clear (e.g.,Metromedia, Inc. v. San Diego,
1981). TheCPC Study Manual(2024) confirms, "Published criteria for design review are essential to avoid legal challenges by ensuring transparency," supporting option C.

質問 # 89
A new planner is assigned to prepare a briefing memo for the administrator. The best approachfor the supervising planner to assist the new planner in meeting the deadline with a quality product would be to:

A. Provide a deadline and a couple of samples and templates.
B. Check the task progress daily asking how the task is being performed, and how much work has been completed.
C. Have an early meeting to go over the expectations and provide constructive feedback on the draft.
D. Take the task back if the new planner is not likely to meet the deadline with a quality product.

正解：C

解説：
Effective leadership in planning involves mentoring and supporting staff to ensure quality work. Option B (early meeting to go over expectations and provide feedback on the draft) sets clear goals, provides guidance, and allows for iterative improvement, which is the best approach for a new planner. The APA'sAICP Certification Exam Content Outline(2022), under "Leadership," emphasizes "mentoring staff through clear expectations, early guidance, and constructive feedback to ensure quality outcomes." Option A (providing samples and a deadline) lacks active support. Option C (daily checks) is micromanaging and may undermine confidence. Option D (taking the task back) does not foster growth. TheCPC Study Manual(2024) states,
"Leaders should support new planners by setting expectations early and providing feedback on drafts to ensure quality work," supporting option B.

質問 # 90
The following chart compares two options for appointing a planning director: Option Y (the planning director is appointed by the governor, overseeing the Office of State Planning and Various Other Departments); Option Z (the director is selected through the state's civil service process, with the governor overseeing the Department of State Planning and Various Other Departments separately). Given the information in the chart, which of the following can be concluded?

A. In Option Y, the governor would appoint a director who has supported them politically.
B. The more competent professional planner would be named in Option Z rather than in Option Y.
C. In Option Y, the director could be dismissed for any reason.
D. In Option Y, the director would be a professional planner.

正解：C

解説：
In Option Y, the governor directly appoints the planning director, implying a political appointment where the director serves at the governor's pleasure, meaning they can be dismissed at the governor's discretion (option C). In Option Z, the civil service process typically ensures merit-based selection with protections against arbitrary dismissal. The APA'sAICP Certification Exam Content Outline(2022), under "Administration and Management," notes, "Political appointees, such as in a governor-appointed role, often serve at the pleasure of the appointer and can be dismissed for any reason." Option A (political support) is an assumption not supported by the chart. Option B (competence in Option Z) requires a judgment the chart doesn't provide.
Option D (professional planner) isn't guaranteed by the chart. TheCPC Study Manual(2024) confirms,
"Governor-appointed directors can typically be dismissed at will," supporting option C.

質問 # 91
Scenario
A pro-development city manager tells you, the planner, that you must provide findings to support a shift in a natural resources boundary in order to accommodate a particular development. What might you do?

正解：

解説：
See the solution below
Explanation
First, you should clarify all relevant policies and regulations. Suppose the relevant policies are in conflict or are difficult to interpret. You might ask the planning director the city attorney for assistance in defining the situation. Second, determine how the boundary was established and study how it might be shifted.
Suppose the data that are available for the analysis are unreliable, inconsistent, or out-of-date. You might ask the planning director, another planner, or another source (such as the state GIS library) for assistance in obtaining better data. You might verify the accuracy of the data you collect by learning how it was developed and how recently it was developed because sometimes data are in error and natural conditions do change over time (Ethical Principle 1)

質問 # 92
Which of these regions is planned, protected, and managed by a bi- or multi-state regional land use planning agency?

A. Highlands, New Jersey-Pennsylvania-New York
B. Lake Tahoe, California-Nevada
C. Delmarva Peninsula, Delaware-Maryland-Virginia
D. Ozarks, Missouri-Arkansas-Oklahoma-Kansas

正解：B

解説：
The Lake Tahoe region, spanning California and Nevada, is managed by the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency (TRPA), a bi-state agency established in 1969 to oversee land use, environmental protection, and development in the region. The TRPA is a well-known example of a multi-state regional planning body, created through a compact between the two states and approved by Congress. The APA'sAICP Certification Exam Content Outline(2022), under "Areas of Practice," identifies "Lake Tahoe as a model of bi-state regional planning, managed by the TRPA to protect the lake's ecosystem and manage growth." The other regions-Highlands (B), Ozarks (C), and Delmarva Peninsula (D)-do not have similar bi- or multi-state planning agencies. The Highlands region has some regional coordination but not a formal multi-state agency like the TRPA. TheCPC Study Manual(2024) notes, "The TRPA at Lake Tahoe is a leading example of a bi- state planning agency addressing land use and environmental challenges," supporting option A.

D. Ian McHarg

正解：A

質問 # 94
Scenario
The owner of the local NFL football team tells the mayor through the press that he will relocate his team unless the city builds a new stadium and practice field. The mayor wants the team to stay because his campaign platform included a promise to keep the team in the community. He asks you, the planning director, to evaluate the costs and benefits of building a new stadium. The planning staff does the analysis and demonstrates that large-scale public investment in a new stadium makes no economic sense and may lead to bankruptcy. What might you do?

正解：

解説：
See the solution below
Explanation
As with any analysis, verify the facts and assumptions made in the analysis and be sure that all appropriate procedures were used. Write the report accurately despite the fact that it may be embarrassing to the mayor.
However, before presenting the report publicly, as with any report and because you are sensitive to the mayor's dilemma, it would be best to first to reveal its contents to the mayor. Should the situation be politically charged, you might recommend having a consultant revisit the analysis and present the findings to the mayor. The mayor may be more willing to consider alternatives when they are presented by a paid, independent, expert consultant rather than by staff (Ethical Principle 2) Suppose the mayor, upon learning about your report, refuses to make it public and makes plans to go ahead with the construction of a new stadium. Then, it may be time to resign. Or, it may be time to release the information to the media because of your responsibility to the public regarding the long-range consequences of actions, which may obviously put your job in jeopardy (Ethical Principle 1; Rule of Conduct 7) Suppose the mayor pressures you to alter your findings and report favorably on the potential impacts of the stadium. Then you might engage in a frank discussion with the mayor and suggest some alternatives. The mayor may, for example, discard the idea in favor of a proposal to conduct significant renovations to the existing facility. Suppose you see that the information about how bad the new stadium might be for the community as a whole as well as information about the pressure being applied by the mayor might be helpful in preventing the mayor from winning reelection. And suppose you do not personally want to see this mayor reelected. As a planning director, you may NOT use the information to your personal advantage, and, for example, go directly to the press with the results of the analysis (Rule of Conduct 7) Suppose you are indifferent as to the mayor's election but believe that this course of action will bankrupt the community. To prevent a substantial injury to the public, you could still go to the press after verifying all facts and seeking reconsideration of the matter

質問 # 98
All of the following are purposes of a General Plan, Master Plan, or Comprehensive Plan except:

A. Serve as a guide to decision-making.
B. Implement zoning.
C. Define community needs.
D. Provide a statement of goals and objectives.

正解：B

解説：
A General Plan (or Comprehensive Plan) sets long-term goals and policies to guide a community's development, but it does not directly implement zoning, which is a regulatory function carried out through zoning ordinances. Option A (implement zoning) is not a purpose of a General Plan. Options B (define community needs), C (guide decision-making), and D (statement of goals) are core purposes. The APA's AICP Certification Exam Content Outline(2022), under "Plan and Policy Development," states, "A General Plan defines needs, sets goals, and guides decision-making, but zoning implementation occurs through separate ordinances." TheCPC Study Manual(2024) confirms, "The General Plan does not implement zoning; it provides the policy framework for zoning to follow," supporting option A.

質問 # 99
Using a mathematical model, trips to the public neighborhood library can be explained by characteristics of nearby census tracts, including number of children, median income, median education, and distance of tract to library. Which of the following is the dependent variable?

A. Median tract education
B. Number of children in the tract
C. Trips to the library
D. Distance to the library

正解：C

解説：
In a mathematical model, the dependent variable is the outcome being explained or predicted, while independent variables are the factors influencing it. Here, the model explains "trips to the public neighborhood library" using variables like number of children, median income, median education, and distance. Thus, trips to the library (option C) is the dependent variable, as it is the outcome being modeled.
The APA'sAICP Certification Exam Content Outline(2022), under "Research and Assessment Methods," defines the dependent variable as "the outcome variable that the model seeks to explain, such as trips to a library in a travel demand model." Options A, B, and D (number of children, distance, median education) are independent variables used to predict trips. TheCPC Study Manual(2024) confirms, "In a model explaining library trips, the number of trips is the dependent variable, while factors like distance and demographics are independent variables," supporting option C.

質問 # 100
Scenario
A site application is complete and is about to go before the planning commission. You have a conflict of interest because you personally own property near the proposed site and stand to benefit from the increase in property value that the new development is projected to generate. If you are the only planner in the community what might you do?

正解：

解説：
See the solution below
Explanation
You are definitely conflicted in this case. So first issue is to recognize this financial conflict of interest and disclose it. (Rule of Conduct 6) You have 2 options. One option is to get approval of your supervisor with full written disclosure as to your personal interest. You may get consent in writing to move forward and complete the review.
The second option is to hire an independent consultant to review the situation. It is good policy for a planning department to pre-qualify consultants for such situations so that the matter can be expeditiously turned over.
This may also be a good route to take if the applicant is a member of the city council and has hiring authority over the planner.

質問 # 101
The initial direct impact of the City Beautiful movement on the form of North American cities was that it:

A. Introduced modern design concepts appropriate to cities built around automobile movement.
B. Encouraged residential subdivision design that was beautiful as well as functional.
C. Promoted the construction of civic centers and other symbols of collective action.
D. Encouraged the construction of skyscrapers to create an exciting skyline.

正解：C

解説：
The City Beautiful movement, emerging from the 1893 Chicago World's Fair, aimed to improve urban aesthetics and civic pride through grand public spaces. Its initial impact was the promotion of civic centers, monuments, and public buildings as symbols of collective action, as seen in cities like Chicago and Washington, D.C. Option D (promoted the construction of civic centers) reflects this focus. The APA'sAICP Certification Exam Content Outline(2022), under "Fundamental Planning Knowledge," states, "The City Beautiful movement's initial impact was the construction of civic centers and public spaces to enhance civic pride." Option A (subdivision design) came later with planned communities. Option B (automobile design) is unrelated, as the movement predates widespread car use. Option C (skyscrapers) was driven by economic factors, not the movement. TheCPC Study Manual(2024) confirms, "The City Beautiful movement initially led to civic centers and public symbols," supporting option D.
