Buy a Site Plan for San Diego – $89, 24‑Hour Delivery, Pass City Review
You need to buy a site plan that works. San Diego’s Development Services Department (DSD) needs it to be complete. You don’t have to learn the zoning code. We already know it.
You’ve got the contractor. You’ve got the design. Then San Diego sends back a correction letter. “Coastal setback not shown.” “Flood zone note missing.” “ADU exceeds 800 sq ft.”
Another month in the resubmission queue. The crew moves to another job. Your project sits idle.
That’s what happens when you buy a site plan that’s incomplete. San Diego reviewers don’t reject your project – they reject missing paperwork. We fix that before you submit.
Upload your address. We pull parcel records, verify setbacks, calculate lot coverage, add coastal and flood notes, and deliver a PDF that meets San Diego’s checklist.
- 24‑hour turnaround for most residential plans
- Fixed pricing – $89 to $249
- Unlimited revisions if the DSD asks for changes
What Actually Gets Flagged in San Diego (From Real Correction Letters)
San Diego DSD reviews thousands of residential plans every year. These are the most common reasons they send plans back – and what we include so you don’t get the same letter.
“Coastal setback missing. Property within Coastal Overlay Zone requires additional 5‑foot setback and height restrictions.”
San Diego enforces coastal setbacks near the ocean, bays, and lagoons. We identify coastal zones and add required notes and dimensions.
“Flood zone reference missing. FEMA panel number required – multiple properties in Zone AE or VE near San Diego Bay.”
We add the correct FEMA panel number. Even in low‑risk zones, the city wants the reference.
“ADU exceeds maximum floor area. Detached ADU limited to 800 sq ft (1,200 sq ft if using affordability provision).”
We verify ADU size, height (max 25 ft, 30 ft near transit), and parking (one space) before you order.
“Setback measured from foundation, not eave.”
San Diego measures to the furthest projection – roof overhang, gutter, chimney. Foundation measurement is always wrong. We measure from the eave.
“Parking not shown for ADU. One off‑street space required unless within ½ mile of transit.”*
We include parking location and dimensions on the plan.
“Tree protection not shown. City has protected tree species in canyon and coastal areas.”*
We identify protected trees, show driplines, and add preservation notes.
“Easement shown without recorded instrument number.”*
“Utility easement” alone gets rejected. We add book/page references from county records.
What Your San Diego Site Plan Includes (And Why Each Item Matters)
You don’t need to learn San Diego’s zoning code or coastal regulations. You just need a plan that passes. Here’s what we deliver – and why reviewers check for it.
| What We Include | Why San Diego Reviewers Flag It |
|---|---|
| Property lines from recorded plats | GIS data is rounded. Reviewers compare against legal documents. We use exact dimensions. |
| Setbacks from the eave | Foundation measurements fail every time. We measure from the furthest projection. |
| Coastal overlay notes + extra setback | Required for properties in the Coastal Overlay Zone. We add them. |
| Easements with book/page numbers | “Utility easement” alone gets rejected. We add recorded instrument numbers. |
| ADU size, height, parking | 800 sq ft max (1,200 with affordability), 25‑30 ft height, one parking space. We verify before you pay. |
| Flood zone + FEMA panel number | Required even for low‑risk properties. We add the correct panel. |
| Tree protection notes | Protected species near canyons and coastlines. We add preservation language. |
| Impervious surface calculation | San Diego enforces lot coverage limits. We calculate and show the number. |
| North arrow + engineering scale | Missing these? Rejected before review starts. We include them on every sheet. |
You don’t need to learn any of this. We handle it.
What Denver Reviewers Commonly Flag – Real Correction Examples
Here is what actual correction letters from Denver P&D look like – and how we prevent them:
“Missing setback dimension – side property line. Measured from foundation, not eave.”
We include all setback dimensions (front, side, rear) measured from the furthest projection. Foundation measurement never passes.
“ADU size exceeds zoning allowance. Primary dwelling allows X sq ft. ADU exceeds limit.”
We verify ADU size against the primary dwelling and Denver Zoning Code before submission. If the site does not support the proposed size, we notify you before you pay.
“Flood zone reference not provided. FEMA panel number required.”
We add the panel number and zone (e.g., “Zone X, Panel 08001C0385J”) even for low‑risk properties.
“Grading and drainage information incomplete – stormwater management note missing.”
We add flow arrows and reference SUDP standards, including how the pool deck, patio, or new structure will convey stormwater.
“Lot coverage calculation missing or does not match zoning district limit.”
We calculate lot coverage and verify against your zone’s cap.

Real San Diego Story – Homeowner Lost 8 Weeks to Coastal Setback Confusion
Detached ADU in Ocean Beach (Coastal Overlay Zone)
The homeowner bought a site plan from a national online service. No coastal setback. No flood panel. ADU size was 1,000 sq ft – over the 800 sq ft cap.
“Coastal setback missing. Property within Coastal Overlay Zone requires additional 5‑foot setback. ADU exceeds maximum floor area of 800 sq ft. Flood zone reference missing.”
Added coastal overlay note with extra 5‑foot setback, reduced ADU footprint to 800 sq ft, added FEMA panel number (Zone AE, Panel 06073C0220J), added one parking space with dimensions, and verified tree preservation for a protected Torrey pine.
The homeowner resubmitted our plan. San Diego approved it on the next review cycle. Total delay saved – 8 weeks.
