Under the Standard Plan Program, plans are designed by private licensed architects, and engineers to accommodate various site conditions. Plans are then reviewed and pre-approved by LADBS for compliance with the Building, Residential, and Green Codes. When the applicant selects an approved Standard Plan, LADBS staff will review site-specific factors for the specific site, including compliance with the Zoning Code and foundation requirements.
These pre-approved Standard Plans are designed and owned by the listed design firms and may be purchased directly from the plan owner. Please note that these pre-approved Standard Plans may not be approved for use in certain situations and/or site conditions.
For standard plans approved with roof decks, the roof decks may require additional setbacks in specific zones.
