| The following information, if applicable, shall
be included on, or with, ALL plans submitted for buildings and
accessory structures: |
- The Designer's Name: When the drawings are prepared by
a California licensed architect or registered professional
engineer, that person must sign and seal all drawings and
calculations as appropriate.
- Plot Plan: Show the outlines of the Assessor's Tax Parcel
and the locations and use of all existing and proposed buildings.
Plan details must include parcel dimensions, building setbacks
from all property lines, distance between buildings, off-street
parking, driveways, sewer lines or septic tank and leach
field locations, percentage of the lot covered by buildings,
scale of the draw ings, and a north arrow. Also specify
the owner's name, the site address, and the Assessor's parcel
Number.
- Foundation Plan: Show dimensions and depths into bearing
soil of all foundation components. Indicate foundation anchoring
details, reinforcements, crawl space clearances, under grounding,
vents, and access. Any foundation system that deviates from
the standard foundation system described in the Uniform
Building Code must bear the seal of a registered civil or
structural engineer or architect and have supporting calculations
to substantiate the design. Foundation design criteria must
be in accordance with data provided in an accompanying soil
report.
- Floor Plan: Show complete dimensions. Include location
of smoke detectors, all appliances, heating systems, electrical
outlets, fixtures, attic and underfloor access, door and
window types and sizes (tempered or thermal glass as required),
other important structural elements, fire protection in
attached garages, and any other information necessary to
show that the building will meet all applicable codes. Also
indicate the gross floor area to be heated.
- Exterior Elevations: Submit elevations of all sides of
the building. Show building height in feet, and indicate
the difference in elevation between the highest point of
the structure (not including antennas, etc.) and the highest
and lowest ground elevation at the exterior foundation of
the structure.
- Cross Sections: Show cross sections for as many areas
as necessary to completely describe the structural layout.
Include details for high strength connections, insulation

- Soil Report: A comprehensive soil investigation prepared
by a registered soil or civil engineer is required for new
buildings. Building additions and remodel work normally
are not required to have a soil report, depending on the
extent and nature of the additions.
- Engineering Calculations: These are to be submitted for
all buildings and/or building parts that are not of conventional
wood construction, and foundation systems that deviate from
a standard UBC foundation system.
- Manufacturers' Engineering Reports: These are required
for ALL prefabricated structural framing components.
- Title 24, State Energy Calculations: A certificate of
Compliance (CF-1R) with all applicable signatures, shall
appear on the plan. Provide heat loss calculations, or specify
the alternative component package used. Show all mandatory
measures on the plan.
- Electrical, Plumbing, and Mechanical Permits: These will
