Plan Check
City Planners and Plan Examiners will review plans submitted with a building permit application. This may result in design changes to comply with City regulations and building codes. The amount of time required for plan check depends on the size and complexity of the project.
Before submitting plans, ensure that the use, size, height, and location of the building on the development site conforms with the City's Zoning Code. Contact the Planning Division for more information regarding zoning of property. A complete set of plans must include:
- plot plan
- foundation plan
- floor plan
- elevations (front, rear, and side views)
- cross section (floor, wall and roof)
- details of critical connections
- construction details and material specifications
- energy/insulation requirements
The City also offers Expedited Plan Check Review. The applicant may choose to use one of the City's approved outside consulting firms to review plans. The fees and time frame for outside plan review shall be negotiated directly with the consulting firm. The City will charge 35 percent of the full plan check fee and full permit fees at the time the permit is issued.
