plan approval shall expire if substantial construction of the approved plan has not begun
within the 5-year period of construction on the site is a departure from the approved plan.
5. As allowed by PMC 18.310.010.B, the apartment buildings may extend to an average
maximum height of 45. Building height verification shall be submitted with the building
permit drawings and additional review will occur to ensure that the construction of the

appropriate permits; (b) pay all required fees and deposits; and (c) provide the City with
adequate construction plans for approval which conform to City codes and standards. Any
utility plans, details, and drawing notes associated with the approved site plan drawing are
approved in concept only and are not considered approved for construction. Approval of
the site plan does not constitute approval of any construction drawings submitted with the
site plan approval documents. Civil construction drawings must be submitted directly to the
Engineering Department. For site plans, it is not acceptable to submit the civil drawings
with the building plans to the Building Department.
17. Construction plans for the following shall be reviewed and approved by the Engineering
Department and Public Works Department: storm drainage and street improvements

requires full or part-time on-site inspection in addition to the inspection by City staff, he
may contract with a duly qualified inspector or hire additional personnel to provide
inspection, testing, or other professional services for the City in connection with the
construction. Deposits for Engineering Department services or outside professional
services shall be paid in advance. The deposits are estimates and may require
replenishment. Deposits may be required at the time of, or after, payment of any fees.
