How a project usually moves

In our experience, projects here usually move through a zoning and specific-plan review, review-board steps where they apply, a Building & Safety and OCFA submittal, correction rounds, district clearances, and then Ready to Issue.

County agencies cover unincorporated areas. Each incorporated city has its own building department and timelines.
