Updates to city planning, building submittal process
–Even though Atascadero City Hall is temporarily closed to the public to help maintain social distancing and reduce potential exposure to staff and the community, the city will continue to provide services to the community and is actively working to develop new ways of providing these services while following CDC and Health Department guidelines.
Beginning March 25, 2020, the following procedure will be in place for Planning and Building submittals:
- The city will accept new construction permits for both new commercial and residential projects.
- Permits for elective construction on occupied residences will not be accepted at this time unless such construction is for the repair of critical health/safety items such as roofing, heating, water heaters or other items necessary to maintain adequate health and sanitation.
- The city will only be accepting plans via courier or other delivery services (FedEx, UPS, GSO, USPS, etc.). On a limited basis, appointments may be accepted to drop off plans at City Hall.
