One sheet, from one model
These are not separate drawings kept in step by hand. They are projections of the same model, so a change to the model changes all of them at once. A proposal with no interior has nothing to elevate or section — so the engine produces one sheet and does not pad the set.
Sheet A-001 — Site plan
Why this passes — and what sends one back
- Setbacks measured to the new edge, not to the house — 30.0′ to the nearer side line here.
- The scale is written down (1″ = 20′), not left to be inferred from the page size.
- North arrow on the sheet.
- Existing dashed, proposed solid. This is the first thing read at the counter, and getting it backwards is a refusal on its own.
- The coverage arithmetic is shown, not just its result — 1,818 sq ft existing and nothing added, so coverage does not move.
What sends this one back
The half of the driveway that isn’t yours
The paving on your lot is one approval; the curb cut and apron sit in the public right-of-way and belong to public works. Plans that show only the private half come back asking about the half the city owns.
What the sky can’t see — you add these
- Paving hidden under tree canopy — it counts toward impervious totals the photo cannot add up
- The recorded right-of-way width at your frontage
provide them and they go on the sheet · invented lines never do
Same lot, 5 ways
Every paving in this category is drawn on the identical lot, so the coverage numbers on the cards can be read against each other.
What this is not
This page is a demonstration our engine drew — not a permit that was submitted and not a drawing that was approved. Structural calculations and Title 24 energy compliance have to be signed by a licensed engineer or a certified analyst: we hand those off and we do not stamp them. Decks and small wood structures mostly fall inside the prescriptive tables and need no stamp at all, which is why they are the cleanest category here.
