City Standard Plans
The City has provided standard construction details for specific types of projects, which applicants may use when applying for a building permit. When these standards are followed precisely, the involvement of a licensed engineer or architect is not necessary. However, if an applicant intends to modify the materials, methods, or dimensions outlined in the standard guidelines, the design must be prepared by a registered engineer or architect.
