Step 5. Building Plan Check Review

  • Once your request for Pre-Approved ADU Building Plan Check has been received, you will be invited (via email) to create an account and submit your project materials into a portal for review. Please follow the E-Plan Check Review Upload and Submittal Guide for file naming, size requirements and uploading instructions. You will have 10 days to upload your files after receiving your invitation.
  • After you submit your application and materials, staff will pre-screen the uploaded application and materials and advise whether the submittal is incomplete, requires additional information, or deemed complete for processing.
  • Once your application is deemed complete Planning and Building staff will send you links to pay the Planning and Building review fees (two separate fees).
  • Review the E-Plan Review Processing Guide for next steps after your application has been accepted into the review process.
