  Submittal Requirements

When a project is submitted for permitting, City staff reviews the project for conformance with the Land Development Code, City policies, and with State and federal regulations. You will be asked to initially submit various documents, plans and information regarding your project and make changes to those plans as review results are completed.

To ensure that staff has sufficient information and to reduce delays in reviewing your project, minimum submittal requirements have been established to facilitate this process. Additional information or documents may be required by City review staff and would be specified for a subsequent submittal. Submittal requirements can be found in:

Submittals are made on the 3rd floor of the Development and Permit Information (DPI) counter at the Development Services Center. Walk-ins are welcome, but priority is given to those with appointments. Phone (619) 446-5300 to schedule your appointment. Please specify "Submittal" as the type of appointment needed. Before you call for a submittal appointment, you may want to check out our Virtual DPI Guide to Development and Permit Information (PDF: 85K) for answers to many questions about your specific type of project.
