EPR Portal
Temporarily Suspended
|
|
Effective
March 24, 2016, the Development Services Department will temporarily
suspend the Electronic Plan Review (EPR) Portal for all commercial,
single-family residential, and schools within the interlocal
agreement (ILA) submittals. Please note the EPR portal will continue
to be available to submit permit applications for trees and signs.
To
assist the Plan Review team in meeting your timeline needs, we
request your help with the following:
For
commercial plan submittals and schools within the ILA that
have not received a permit, please submit two sets of paper copies to
help us start or complete your reviews. During this time, all
resubmittals need to be provided via paper copies. As a reminder, we
will need two complete sets of paper plans to issue your permit.
For
single-family residential submittals, we will continue to
review electronic files that have been submitted through March
23. Please provide paper copies for any resubmittals going
forward. The City will provide a paper copy of the approved
construction plans once the permit has been issued.
We
appreciate your help and understanding as we work to resolve
electronic submittal and plan review process concerns.

Demolition and
Building Permit Info
|
|
The
scope section of the IB highlights the following approvals are required
prior to submitting for a demolition permit:
- CPS
Energy
- Historic
- Tree
Preservation
Note that not all historic buildings
are on the City-zoning map and therefore may not be flagged as
historic through the building permitting software. To avoid
delays we suggest that customers contact the Office of
Historic Preservation (OHP) for a full or partial demolition of a
building, or a remodel of an existing building prior to
applying for a building permit to help determine if the property is
historic or not.
Additional
demolition procedures, requirements, and guidelines can be found in
the Part III section of IB 106 and again in IB
103 Plan Review Submittal Commercial Checklist. Both IBs
offer more detail regarding the demolition submittal requirements and
indications of when separate permits and applications are required.
As a reminder,
the demolition permit is not eligible for the department's
on-line permitting system.
To learn more
about the demolition process, visit the Demolition Contractor's
License and Permit Process brochure
and read over IB 106
