PARKING LOT RESTRIPING
Requirements to restripe and slurry seal a parking lot:
When an existing parking lot needs to be changed or updated a permit is required. In addition, any alterations to
ramps, path of travel, handrails, etc. also requires a permit. A parking lot restriping permit is required to go into plan
check. A minimum of $504.00 plan check fee will be collected by cash, check or credit card. If you have any questions
please contact the Building and Safety Department at (760) 776-6420.
Why do I need a permit?
The 2016 California Building Code, Chapter 11, Section 11B-501 and Chapter 1, Division II, Section 105.1 requires
a permit to be obtained prior to work being performed to ensure the minimum code requirements are met.
What will I need to submit to the building department for plan check?
• A completed building application detailing the entire scope of work.
• Two (2) sets of plans showing the layout of the parking lot and area of work.
It should include the dimensions of the parking stalls, the number of parking stalls, the number of handicap parking
stalls, access aisles, van access spaces, the slopes and cross-slopes of the handicap parking stalls, path of travel
and ramps, any signs and their locations, any wheel stops, square footage of the building, use of the building, nearest
street and cross streets, address and location of building and ramps.
Once all departments have approved the plans, the permit fees will be calculated and the licensed contractor or
property owner can pull the permit.
What departments will review them?
The applicant will go to the Planning Department then submit to the Building and Safety Department. Depending on
the scope of work the Engineering Department may need to review as well.
