Plan Review Submittal Checklist
Below are some common items, which are typically missing or inadequately detailed that may delay plan review and
approval. This checklist is not all inclusive and is subject to change without notice. Refer to the appropriate state laws and
CCDEH construction guidelines for additional requirements and details. We provide pre-design consultation on a first come,
first serve basis, Monday through Friday 7:30 a.m. to 9:00 a.m., 30 minutes maximum, no appointment needed.
IF ANY OF THE INFORMATION BELOW IS INCOMPLETE, THE PLANS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED FOR REVIEW
DO NOT FILL IN SHADED AREAS
Initially one (1) complete set of plans (accurate, clear, drawn to scale, ¼” per 1’ recommended, and
must be designated for construction only). Four (4) complete set will be required for revised and/or final
approval.
Clearly designate/describe all areas, including kitchens, storerooms, bars, wait-stations, customer self-
serve stations, garbage/refuse storage, utensil washing, display floors, employee locker areas, chemical
storage, janitorial, and offices.
Finish Schedule: Wall and ceiling finishes and materials described for each area, including walk-in units
and restrooms.
Finish Samples: Floor, wall and ceiling samples provided (including integral cove bases).
(Note: Foot of cove pieces must be at least ¼” long.) Provide scale cross-section drawings of all
integral cove bases (including at counter toekicks).
Equipment cut-sheets/manufacturer specification sheets for all equipment showing conformance with
applicable NSF standards. Number cut-sheets/manufacturer specification sheets to correspond with
equipment numbers designated on plans.
Clearly show locations of all equipment.
For unlisted equipment, sufficient details to determine ANSI/NSF equivalency.
Elevations for all equipment (e.g., 6” legs, casters, cove base). Do not show casters less than 6” high unless
equipment can be readily moved.
Food preparation sink required (except in prepackaged food only facilities). For a typical retail food facility,
you would need a utensil (three compartment sinks), food preparation, mop/janitorial and handwashing sinks.
Submit lighting plan. Light of at least 20 foot candles (ftc) intensity must be provided during hours of
operation in the kitchen, other food handling areas, customer self-serve areas, restrooms, utensil washing
and storage areas, and inside reach in and undercounter refrigeration units. Light of at least 50 ftc intensity
must be provided in areas where employees use knives, grinders, slicers, saws, or similar type equipment,
and in all areas during cleaning operations.
Shatter-proof covers or bulbs indicated where required.
