Normally, you will not need an engineer or architect. We have sample drawings you can follow if you need some guidance. We cannot draw or design for you. At least three sets of plans are required to be submitted for plan check. The Planning Division will review the plans and determine if you need a variance or they will approve the plans.
Covered parking is required for all residences.
If the plans are approved, building permits and related electrical, plumbing and mechanical are required. If you have purchased your property with the illegal construction existing, normal fees are required. After you have secured your permits you need to schedule inspections for your project. Open one location to determine slab reinforcing. Open one 4' x 4' section in the middle of the project for access and inspection.
