By thoroughly reviewing plans and permit applications for compliance with
the adopted building-related codes, the Plans and Permits Section of
Planning & Development Services Building Development Division helps safeguard the
publics health, safety and well-being and provides assistance with the
development review and permit process through its Business Assistance
Center.
The Plans and Permits Section (see organization chart) is managed by two
Planning & Development Services Engineers: Mr. Richard Chamberlin, who oversees the
customer assistance, completeness and assignment review, mechanical review,
electrical review, plumbing review, traffic review, and
tree/landscape/irrigation review teams and the permits and licenses teams
and Mr. Michael Shannon, who oversees the fire protection review,
commercial/industrial building review, residential building review and minor
plans review teams and the school plans review/inspections team. The Plans
and Permits Sections Business Assistance Center (see organization chart)
will assist those customers seeking permits for projects that do not require
plans review, such as residential remodeling, residential decks, demolition
and pre-approved plans for building, mechanical, plumbing, electrical and
fire and will assist customers seeking permits for projects that do require
plans review but the plans are considered minor such as tenant finish-outs
and smaller buildings. The Completeness and Assignment Review (CAR) team
provides one-stop service for those customers seeking permits that require
submittal of detailed plans for review and approval prior to issuance of
permit. Upon submittal, the plans are reviewed by the CAR team for
completeness and then assigned/routed to appropriate City review agencies
for technical review and approval. Checklists have been developed as
information bulletins (IBs) to assist in the understanding of the minimum
information needed on plans to be accepted for review.
