Civil Engineering Plan (Level 2): A Civil Engineering Plan is required, and additional review and
fees are applicable when, any of the conditions listed below apply to a permit application, or as determined
by the City Engineer. A Civil Engineering Plan typically requires a Professional Engineer. The Engineering
Department recommends scheduling a pre-design meeting PRIOR to submittal if you project falls into this
category. Please refer to Chapter 4 of the Engineering Standards for additional details.
1. Excavation or fill that will result in elevation changes exceeding two feet (2’) on any portion of the site
excluding landscaping on developed property.
2. Construction of facilities, including grading, that may have an impact on stormwater runoff or
downstream water quality.
3. 3,000 square feet, or more, of new impervious surface will be added to the site (i.e. new parking lots,
structures, or other impervious surfaces that individually or in combination replace 3,000 square feet, or
more, of existing pervious surface).
4. A combination of 6,000 square feet, or more, of impervious area will be added and/or reconstructed (i.e.
4,000 square foot of existing building reconstructed with the addition of a new 2,000 square foot
parking lot, structure, or other impervious surface OR reconstruction of 6,000 square feet, or more, of
existing impervious surface).
