When Do You Need a Residential Site Plan?
California homeowners and property owners need professional residential site plan services in several critical situations. Here is when accurate documentation saves you time and money.
- Before Any New Construction or Addition
California building departments require a residential site plan showing property boundaries, setbacks, and proposed structures before approving building permits. Without an accurate site plan, your permit application will be rejected. - Zoning Compliance & Setback Verification
Every residential plot plan must demonstrate compliance with local zoning ordinances, including front, side, and rear setbacks, lot coverage, and height restrictions. Our plans ensure you meet all requirements. - ADU, Pool, or Garage Construction
Planning an ADU, pool installation, or garage addition? A residential building site plan of your existing property is required before any new construction can be designed or permitted in California. - Property Transactions & Lender Requirements
Accurate residential house site plan documentation protects your investment during property sales, refinancing, or insurance claims. Lenders and insurers increasingly require current site plans. - Subdivision & Development Planning

Frequently Asked Questions About Residential Site Plans
What is a residential site plan and why do I need one?
A residential site plan is a professional scaled drawing that shows the complete layout of your property, including building footprints, property boundaries, setbacks, driveways, utilities, easements, and landscape areas. In California, a residential site plan drawing is required for building permit applications, zoning compliance verification, and construction project approvals. Most building departments will not issue permits without one.
How much does a residential site plan cost in California?
Residential site plan costs vary based on property size, complexity, and local requirements. Simple residential plot plans for single-family homes start at $1,500, while comprehensive residential site development plan drawings for larger properties or subdivisions range from $3,000 to $10,000+. Contact Jean Prescott Studio for a free consultation and accurate quote.
What is the difference between a residential site plan and a residential plot plan?
A residential plot plan and a residential site plan are closely related terms. A plot plan typically shows property boundaries and structures in a simpler format, while a comprehensive site plan includes more detailed information such as grading, drainage, utilities, landscaping, and setback calculations. Both are used for building permit applications in California, though most cities now require the more detailed residential site plan.
How long does it take to complete a residential site plan drawing?
Standard residential site plan drawings are completed in 1 to 3 weeks, depending on property size and complexity. The on-site survey takes 2 to 6 hours, followed by professional CAD drafting. Rush services are available for urgent permit deadlines or time-sensitive construction projects across California.
Do I need a residential site plan for a building permit in California?
Yes, California building departments require a site plan for residential building permit applications. This includes new construction, additions, ADUs, pool installations, and significant renovations. Our housing site plans are designed to meet all local building department requirements and have a 98% first-submission approval rate.
Can you create a residential site development plan for subdivisions?
Absolutely. We specialize in residential site development plan drawings for multi-unit housing, subdivisions, and housing complex site plans. Our team ensures all plans comply with California zoning laws, development standards, and environmental requirements.
What do residential site plan examples typically include?
Residential site plan examples show property boundary lines and dimensions, building footprints with setback measurements, driveways and parking areas, easements and right-of-way, utility connections, grading and drainage patterns, lot coverage calculations, and landscape areas. Our plans include all elements required by California building departments.
What areas of California do you serve for residential site plan services?
