You need a site plan. Sacramento’s Community Development Department needs it to be complete. You don’t have to learn the zoning code. We already know it.
You found the contractor. You cleared the weekend. Then Sacramento sends back a correction letter. “Flood zone note missing.” “ADU exceeds 800 sq ft.” “Tree protection not shown.”

Four weeks in the resubmission queue. The crew moves to another job. Your project stalls.
That’s what happens when a site plan is incomplete. Sacramento reviewers don’t reject your vision – they reject missing paperwork. We fix that before you submit.
Upload your address. We pull parcel records, verify setbacks, calculate lot coverage, add flood and tree notes, and deliver a PDF that meets Sacramento’s checklist.

What Actually Gets Flagged in Sacramento (From Real Correction Letters)
Sacramento’s Planning & Environmental Review division sees the same mistakes again and again. Here’s what they write back – and what we put in your plan so you never see those words.
“Flood zone reference missing. FEMA panel number required – property near American River or Sacramento River.”
We add the correct FEMA panel number. Even in Zone X, Sacramento wants the reference.
“ADU exceeds maximum floor area. Detached ADU limited to 800 sq ft.”
We verify ADU size, height (16 ft, or 25 ft near transit), and lot coverage before you order.
“Setback measured from foundation, not eave.”
Sacramento measures to the furthest projection – eaves, gutters, overhangs. Foundation measurement is an automatic redline. We measure from the eave.
“Tree preservation plan missing. Protected species not located. Removal requires mitigation.”
We identify protected trees, show driplines, and add preservation language per Sacramento code.
“Impervious surface calculation missing or exceeds lot coverage limit.”
We calculate house, driveway, patio, and walkway totals – and show the math.
“Easement shown without recorded instrument number.”
“Utility easement” alone is rejected. We add book/page references from county records.
What Your Sacramento Site Plan Includes (And Why Each Item Matters)
You don’t need to study Sacramento’s zoning rules or floodplain maps. You just need a plan that passes. Here’s what we deliver – and why reviewers check for it.
| What We Include | Why Sacramento Reviewers Flag It |
|---|---|
| Property lines from recorded plats | GIS data is often 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. |
| Easements with book/page numbers | “Utility easement” alone gets rejected. We add recorded instrument numbers. |
| Flood zone + FEMA panel number | Required even for low‑risk properties. We add the correct panel. |
| ADU size, height, lot coverage | 800 sq ft max, 16 ft height (25 ft near transit). We verify before you pay. |
| Tree preservation notes | Sacramento enforces tree protection. We identify driplines and add required language. |
| Impervious surface calculation | Sacramento caps hardscape. We calculate house, driveway, and patio totals. |
| Driveway width + access | Minimum widths and turning radius – shown on plan. |
| North arrow + engineering scale | Missing these? Rejected before review starts. We include them on every sheet. |
| Utility connection points | Water, sewer, electric – shown with connection locations. |
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 Sacramento Story – ADU Rejected Twice, Fixed in 24 Hours
Detached ADU in Land Park
The homeowner bought a site plan from a national online service. No flood panel. ADU size was 1,000 sq ft – over the 800 sq ft cap. No tree protection.
Flood zone reference missing. FEMA panel required. ADU exceeds maximum floor area of 800 sq ft. Tree preservation plan missing.
Added FEMA panel number (Zone X, Panel 06067C0450J), reduced ADU footprint to 800 sq ft, added tree dripline for a protected oak, and verified setbacks from the eave.
The homeowner resubmitted our plan. Sacramento approved it on the next review cycle. Total delay saved – 5 weeks.
