Residential Projects
If the project involves a one or two-family home, it is considered a residential project. Residential projects require a review process but it is less stringent than Commercial projects.
The first step in the residential review process is to submit a site plan. Site plans for residential projects do not have to be done by a design professional if you already know where your property corners are but should be drawn to scale with appropriate measurements shown. See the Residential Site Plan Requirements for more information. The site plan will be reviewed by staff and appropriate comments will be returned to you. Some projects may require architectural plans or a code footprint. Consult with the Building Official in the Neighborhood Services office or call 620-441-4420 to determine if this will be required. All new residential construction will require, at a minimum, a scaled floor plan drawing. See the links below for individual requirements for different projects.
