Planning Permit Application
3 FY20 Version Revised May 28, 2020
PLANNING PERMIT PROCESS
Step 1
Identify the Permits You Need: Talk to Planning staff about your project to find out
what planning and environmental permits are required. Call (562) 570-6194 or visit the
permit center on the 4
th
floor of City Hall.
Environmental reviews are required for most projects, per the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA). Many projects require only a Categorical Exemption, which is
attached to this application. If a different environmental review process is required for
your project, Planning staff will inform you.
Step 2
Calculate the Fees: Planning application fees can be calculated using the current Fee
Schedule, which is included at the end of this application. All fees must be paid at the
time of filing. Cash, credit card, personal check or company check are accepted. NO
third party checks will be accepted. The fees are subject to change, so be sure you
have the most current Fee Schedule.
Step 3
Prepare Plans: The specific requirements for the types of plans required are included
in the next section of this packet.
Step 4
Submit Application and Pay Fees: Schedule an appointment for submittal of the
application by calling the zoning information line at (562) 570-6194. Fees must be paid
at the time of filing. To better serve you,
an appointment is required to submit a
Planning permit application.
Step 5
Make Corrections as necessary: Over the next several weeks after your submittal,
Planning staff will contact you with any corrections you need to make to your plans or
project to bring it into compliance with Zoning code. Your responses to staff’s
corrections will greatly affect how soon your project can be scheduled for a public
hearing. Failure to make the requested corrections may delay scheduling of a hearing,
and may negatively affect staff’s recommendation on your project to the hearing body.
Step 6
Post Notice of Public Hearing Sign: If your project requires a public hearing,
Planning staff will provide you with a laminated 30” × 40” Notice of Public Hearing
poster no later than 14 days before the hearing. You must post this sign immediately.
Please see the posting instructions in this packet. Failure to post the sign properly will
delay the hearing.
Step 7
Attend Hearing: If your project requires a public hearing, you or your representative
should plan to attend. Your testimony at the hearing will be necessary for the project’s
approval. If you, or the person representing you, fails to attend the hearing, the item
will be
continued, and you will be assessed a continuance fee (see Fee Schedule)
before your project may return to hearing.
Step 8
Appeal Period: If your project is approved, the appeal period (usually 10 days) must
expire with no appeals by a third party before you can apply for building permits to
carry out your project. If your project is denied, you have 10 days to appeal the denial
to a higher body.

II. REQUIREMENTS FOR PLANS
Standard-size plans are 24” × 36”, although larger plans may be used as necessary. Reduced-size plans are no
more than half the size of standard-size plans. The most important attribute of reduced-size plans is that they are
reproduced at a usable scale; for example, if the full-size plans are scaled at 1/8”=1’, then reduced-size plans
would be scaled at 1/16”=1’. Scale must be noted on all plan sets, and plans using a scale smaller than 1/8 must
include a graphics scale. If 11” × 17” paper is used, scale must be correct. All plans must be folded to a size no
larger than 9” × 12”. Additional printed sets of plans may be required if additional hearings are needed for the
project. Electronic copies of plans in pdf format must be provided where indicated in the requirements table.
A. Site Plan
A site plan depicts the project site property boundaries, the location of buildings on the property, and the
building setbacks from the property lines, as well as parking, drainage, landscaping, adjacent public right-
of-way, and other site features.
The site plan submitted with your application must be legible, to scale, and include:
Lot lines and dimensions;
Footprint of existing and proposed buildings on the site;
Distances between buildings;
All setback lines properly measured;
A North Arrow;
Existing and proposed easements;
Parking areas and loading facilities, including all parking spaces, access to parking spaces and
circulation patterns;
Location of all trash containers and how they will be accessed; and
All existing trees on the site and parkway.
The following must be tabulated and shown on the Site Plan:
Lot size;
Lot coverage;
Building area (by floor);
Floor area ratio;
Parking by size and type;
Location of building footprints on adjoining and abutting lots noting height and number of stories on
the elevations (this can be done on a separate plot plan, if necessary); and
All contiguous properties, streets, and alleys showing centerline, lane striping, curb lines, street
widths, right-of-way lines, circulation patterns and street names (this can be done on a separate
plot plan, if necessary).
B. Floor Plans
A floor plan shows the size, use and location of the interior spaces in a building.
The floor plan submitted with your application must be legible, to scale, and should include the items listed
below. Floor plans required for submittal may be typical if several units are included.
Specific room arrangements;
Room sizes;
Window sizes and types;
Location of all doors;
Uses for all rooms;
Distance from the windows to the property lines*; and
Distance to other windows on the same floor*.
*Required only for residential projects of five or more units. A separate floor plan showing only
window spacing may be required, but only if specifically requested (LBMC 21.31.240).

The elevations submitted with your application must be legible and to scale. Measure height from top of
curb to roof peak, midpoint of sloped roof, and from eaves. Show the following:
All sides of the proposed building(s), labeled according to which direction the building faces (i.e.,
north face, south face, etc.);
Adjoining buildings (side or rear) in outline form;
Primary, secondary and tertiary building massing;
Original and finished grade changes;
A clear identification of all building materials and textures to be used on the facades; and
Curb grade (top of curb), which differs from “natural grade” or “finish grade.”
For all Site Plan Review applications, full color elevation drawings are required. See “Materials Boards” on
page 9 below.
D. Sections
Sections are drawings showing the project, or certain aspects of the project, as if made by a geometric
plane cutting through it perpendicular to the ground.
Section drawings are only required for certain types of buildings: multi-story buildings, projects with internal
courtyards, and semi-subterranean or subterranean parking. Consult a planner to determine if you must
submit section drawings. If required, they must be legible, to scale and should include:
Sections through the length and width of the building;
Sections through interior courtyards and courtyard planters;
Original, adjacent and finished grade;
Building height; and
All finished floor elevations.
E. Roof Plan
A roof plan shows the architectural details of the roof(s) of all buildings on the site.
A roof plan is required for all projects requiring Site Plan Review. The roof plan must be legible, to scale
and should include:
Proposed rooftop equipment locations;
Proposed screening devices, if any; and
Location of any rooftop deck, pool or spa areas.
F. Landscaping Plan

required. All landscaping plans must show, at a minimum:
The location of the planting area; and
Number and general types of plants to be used.
G. Sign Plan
A sign plan shows the types and locations for primary and secondary on-site signs.
A sign plan is required for any retail or office commercial development that requires Site Plan Review. All

sites. Materials Boards should include the following:
Colored elevations with all materials noted and materials legend;
Actual material samples of each exterior material to be used in the building design (including
stucco, paint colors, etc.), fully labeled to correspond to the elevations and legend.
Samples of window and door frames
Small samples of all exterior elements including railings, canopies, lights, window glass, hardware,
etc.
Please make sure that all material samples are mounted securely on the board and will not
detach if the board is bumped, dropped, or sent in the mail.
Please do not submit full-size samples of windows, railings, lights, or other hardware.
III. SIGN POSTING REQUIREMENTS
A notice poster must be posted at the subject site for any project requiring a public hearing. The City will provide
applicants with a 30” × 40” Notice of Public Hearing sign poster. It is the applicant’s responsibility to post this sign
in accordance with the following requirements or the hearing will be postponed to a later scheduled hearing so
posting requirements can be met.
A. Time: The sign must be posted at least 14 days prior to the date of the public hearing. Failure to post
the sign 14 days prior to the hearing will result in a delay of the hearing.
B. Mounting: The sign provided to the applicant must be mounted on a foam-core board or other stiff
display board, if not affixed to the wall of a building.
C. Location: The sign must be posted at the front of the subject site facing the public street. The sign
must be at least 1 foot inside the property line, but not more than 10 feet.
D. Height: The sign must be mounted so the top is 6 feet above ground level. Stakes must be used to
mount the sign if it is not affixed to the wall of a building.
E. Photographic Verification: The applicant must submit at least two photographs of the sign to verify
that it is posted properly. Photographs must include a camera-generated date stamp. Failure to submit
photographs will result in a delay of the hearing.
F. Affidavit: The applicant also must return the Certificate of Posting provided by the City, certifying that
all posting requirements are met. Failure to return this affidavit will result in a delay of the hearing.
G. Maintenance: It is the applicant’s responsibility to maintain the sign in good condition. If the sign falls
down, is vandalized, or is damaged by wind and weather, the applicant must immediately repair and
correct it if possible. If it is damaged beyond usability or lost, the applicant must immediately request a
new sign from the City and post it as soon as the City provides it to the applicant. It is the applicant’s
responsibility to monitor the condition of the sign every day before the public hearing.
H. Duration: The sign must remain posted during the 10-day appeal period after the hearing, or 10 days
plus 21 days in the Coastal Zone. Failure to keep the sign posted as required may result in permit
invalidation. The sign must then be removed no later than 7 days after receipt of the Notice of Final
Action.
I. Multiple Frontages: If the site has more than one street frontage, additional signs will be provided to
the applicant and must be posted on the secondary frontage(s) in the same manner.
IV. RADIUS MAP, MAILING LABELS, MAILING LIST
