Description: Before beginning development on any new
residential project there are several steps you will need to take to
make sure your new home will be in compliance with local
regulations regarding land and construction.
Examples: You
will need to make sure that the lot you are intending to build on is
appropriate for a two-storied home based on zoning and other
requirements.
PLEASE NOTE:
This information is for single-story homes only, for
second story home information, please visit the 'Residential: Second
Story' page.
PROCESS OVERVIEW:
Before developing
a parcel of land, you will need to determine if
the parcel is zoned for your desired use or if
there are any special development considerations
for your project.
The Planning Division will be able to tell you the zoning
of the property or if there are any special considerations
for your project. If your project requires special handling,
our staff will inform you of the requirements and next
steps.
Who to contact:
Planning Division at (209) 577-5267.
Please provide:
- Assessor's Parcel Number (APN)
- Description of your proposed project
If your proposed project meets the zoning
requirements, you will typically follow the
process given below. If not, staff will
inform you of your options.
Once your Plot Plans are approved you will need to
submit building plans. Building Plans are reviewed
to assure that construction meets minimum life safety
requirements. Depending upon the type of project, and
the complexity of construction, staff will examine your
plans for conformance to these requirements.
