SITE PLAN REQUIREMENTS
This handout provides details for application requirements outlined in the project checklists. If these
requirements are met, it will minimize delays that can occur when an application is disorganized,
incomplete, or not formatted correctly.These requirements are mandatory per BMC 38.220.
DIGITAL SUBMITTALS & NAMING PROTOCOL
1) Create and submit a Planning application using the ProiectDox portal;
a) After completing your Development Review Application, you will receive a Notification Letter
(example)via email. Please download this document and obtain owner's signature. Upload as
a PDF to the "Documents" folder in ProjectDox.
2) The digital copies must be separated into two categories: Documents and Drawings.
a) The Documents folder should include items such as application forms, narrative, response to
City comments, supplemental documents,technical reports, easements, legal documents, etc.
b) The Drawings folder should include items such as site plans, civil plans, landscape plans,
irrigation plans, photometric plans, elevations, etc. All drawing files must be drawn and
formatted for a 24" x 36" sheet file or 11"x 17" sheet file. Plan pages shall be properly
oriented in landscape mode. Refer to our Quick Guide for additional information;
3) Naming protocol.All files should be numbered and named according to their order listed on your
provided Submittal Checklist. File names should start with a numeric value followed by the
document name.The numeric value at the beginning of the file name ensures the order in which
they are displayed. Refer to our Quick Guide for additional information;

PLAN SHEETS
The intent of the plan sheets is to depict all the required site information in a clear manner and to not
have overly congested plans.The plans listed below are categorized based on the type of information
that must be displayed on each sheet. Depending on the scale and complexity of the project,we
recommend that each plan be split up into the categories listed below on individual plan sheets if a
plan becomes congested when trying to accommodate all of the required information. When in doubt,
produce an extra sheet that separates the information.
GENERAL PLAN REQUIREMENTS FOR EACH PLAN SHEET LISTED BELOW
