RECOMMENDED GENERAL STANDARDS FOR DRAWINGS SUBMITTED WITH BUILDING PERMIT APPLICATIONS REQUIRING PLAN CHECK
PRO TIP: If these recommended standards are followed, it will speed the permit and plan check process,
provide for more durable jobsite copies, aid the Planning & Building Department when adding standard sized
City information sheets and reduce problems during construction.
STANDARD REQUIREMENTS:
ACCEPTABLE SHEET SIZE: 22” x 34” or 24” x 36” is preferred. 18” x 24” minimum, 36” x 48” maximum. Drawings should
be standard drawing size: 18” x 24”, 22” x 34”, 24” x 36”, 18” x 24”, 30” x 42”, or 36” x 48”. Sets of 4 or less 8 ½” x 11” or
11” x 17” are not desirable, but will be taken in.
If drawings were done at a smaller size (11” x 17” or 8 ½” x 11”), applicant can “paste up” to a standard size and have a
Xerox vellum master run at a printing company. These can be used to make the bluelines or blacklines prior to
submitting for permit.
Standard size bluelines of odd-sized originals are acceptable if all information is shown on the blueline.
BORDER REQUIREMENTS: 1 ½” minimum at left-hand bound edge, ½” minimum elsewhere; each sheet should have
borderlines.
TITLE BLOCK REQUIREMENT: Each sheet shall have title block indicating (1) Project title and address; (2) Owner’s name,
mailing address, daytime phone and fax number; (3) drawing preparer’s name, address, daytime phone and fax number;
(4) pertinent Consultant’s name(s), mailing address, phone and fax number(s): (5) sheet number of total number or
sheets (i.e.: 1 of 7, 2 of 7, etc.); (6) revision number, and (7) indication of latest date of preparation, printing.
NOT ACCEPTABLE:
1. DRAWINGS LESS THAN 18” X 24” (or set with more than 4 sheets of 8 ½” x 11” or 11” x 17”. Smaller drawings make
plan checking more time consuming and difficult, are more easily lost or damaged, lack of room for borders results in
poor copies and lost information, and tendency to omit information if there is a lack of drawing space.) OR LARGER
THAN 36” X 48” (too large to handle in plan check cubicles).
2. XEROXED COPIES (not durable for job site).
3. ORIGINAL DRAWINGS (can be easily altered during permit issuance).
4. DIFFERENT SIZE SHEETS IN A DRAWING SET (except survey and/or plot plan may be different size from the other
drawings if they are the same size as each other).
5. DRAWINGS TAPED TOGETHER, OR SHEETS WITH SMALLER DRAWINGS TAPED, STAPLED, OR PASTED ON (these are
not durable and will tend to get torn or ripped off).
6. DRAWINGS WITH INFORMATION ADDED IN RED EXCEPT BY CITY STAFF.
7. DRAWING SHEETS WITHOUT BORDERS OR WITH INFORMATION CROSSING OVER BORDERS (information may be lost
due to misalignment when having copies made at the printer).
8. DRAWINGS WITH LETTERING LESS THAN 1/8-INCH-HIGH OR ILLEGIBLE LETTERING (not suitable for microfilming or
making reduced size copies).
9. UNBOUND, UNSTAPLED DRAWING SETS
10. DRAWINGS WITHOUT TITLES, PERTINENT ADDRESS AND PHONE NUMBERS, OR WITHOUT PREPARER’S WET
SIGNATURE ON EACH SHEET
11. POOR QUALITY BLUELINE OR BLACKLINE COPIES WITH POOR CONTRAST OR DIRTY BACKGROUND.

c. Any tree of any size located in the public right-of-way (including street trees)
I, THE APPLICANT/OWNER, ATTEST THAT: (check one)

CITY OF OAKLAND – PLANNING & BUILDING (ACCESSORY DWELLING APPLICATION) PAGE 11 V1.0 | 10.28.2019
CREEK PROTECTION ORDINANCE
Pursuant to the Creek Protection, Storm Water Management and Discharge Control Ordinance (§13.16 O.M.C.) a Creek Protection
Permit is required for any proposed construction activity occurring on a Creekside property. The extent to which your development
will be regulated by the Creek Protection Ordinance depends upon the location and type of proposed work.
I, THE APPLICANT/OWNER, ATTEST THAT: (check one)
❑ (1) I do not know if there is a Creek on or near the proposed project site. I have submitted a request for
a Creek Determination by the City of Oakland (separate form and fee required).
❑ (2) No Creek exists on or near the project site; (check one)
❑ (a) Based on my review of the characteristics of the project site, as well as all relevant maps and plans; or
❑ (b) Based on the attached report prepared by a relevant licensed professional.
However, if the City determines that a Creek exists on or near the project site, a Creek Protection Permit is required.
❑ (3) A Creek DOES exist on or near the project site and (check one)
❑ (a) The proposed project only entails interior construction, and therefore requires a Category 1 Creek Permit (this
is a no fee permit and only requires distribution of educational materials); or
❑ (b) The proposed project entails exterior work that does not include earthwork and is located more than 100 feet
from the centerline of the Creek, and therefore requires a Category 2 Creek Permit (this permit requires a site
plan and distribution of educational materials); or
❑ (c) The proposed project entails (a) exterior work that is located between 20 feet from the top of the Creek bank
and 100 feet from the centerline of the Creek, and/or (b) exterior work that includes earthwork involving more
than three (3) cubic yards of material located beyond 20 feet from the top of the Creek bank, and therefore
requires a Category 3 Creek Permit (this permit requires a site plan and creek protection plan and may require
environmental review); or
❑ (d) The project entails exterior work conducted from the centerline of the Creek to within 20 feet from the top of
the Creek bank, and therefore requires a Category 4 Creek Permit (this permit requires a site plan and creek
protection plan and may require environmental review and a hydrology report).
GREEN BUILDING REQUIREMENTS
Pursuant to the California Green (CALGreen) Building Standards Code, all new residential construction requires completion of a CALGreen
Checklist (download at https://aiacalifornia.org/calgreen-checklists). Further, Title 24, Part 11, Section 301.1.1 states that the “mandatory
provisions of Chapter 4 shall be applied to additions or alterations of existing residential buildings where the addition or alteration
increases the building’s conditioned area, volume, or size. The requirements shall apply only to and/or within the specific area of the
addition or alteration.” As such, any Secondary / Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) that meets these conditions is also subject to Chapter 4
CALGreen requirements, which are outlined here: http://www.hcd.ca.gov/building-standards/calgreen/docs/HCDSHL605_2016.pdf
I, THE APPLICANT/OWNER, ATTEST THAT: (check all that apply)
❑ (1) I am submitting a completed CALGreen Checklist with my application.
❑ (2) If constructing a Secondary / Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) that meets the conditions as quoted above in code Section
301.1.1, I acknowledge that I also MUST comply with all Chapter 4 CALGreen mandatory measures and obtain verification by
a qualified third-party inspector. I am submitting any additional green building plans with this application.
