Every application for a permit for a new building structure or addition must be accompanied by some form of plan.
Any application requesting a zoning or subdivision action also requires the submittal of plans.
The combination and number of plans required depends on the type of application. For example, the types of plans and number of copies required for a Conditional Use Permit vary from those required for a Minor Lot Line Adjustment. A Plot Plan is the most commonly needed plan. It is a diagram of a lot as seen from above showing the outline of all existing and proposed structures on the lot and their distance from the borders of the lot. Any application for a permit for a new building, structure or addition must include a Plot Plan drawn to scale on a form provided by the Department of Planning and Building.
