Commercial Project Review & Approval
 After I submit for a permit, what happens next?
At the time of submittal, the project will be assigned a plan check number that will be used to track the progress of the plans and plan review.
Some simpler projects can be issued over the counter, whereas others will need to be submitted into plan check. If your plans will require a plan check, they will be distributed by Building staff to the necessary City department for their review and comment.
Upon receipt of the plans, each department will assign a staff member to the project. Each department's staff member will perform an independent review of your project and forward their comments to the person designated on the Project Contact Information Sheet. The contact person is responsible for addressing each department's comments and resubmitting revised plans, as needed. This step will continue until each department's comments have been adequately addressed.
After the project is approved by all required City departments and other agencies, what is the next step?
Once all reviewing departments and all other applicable agencies approve the project they will notify the Building Division of their approval. At this time final fees due will be calculated and the project paperwork will be prepared for permit issuance. Once the fees are calculated and the paperwork is ready, the project contact person will be notified. Please see the Fees and Permit Issuance page.
