·
The City of Daly City requires three sets of plans for the
proposed wood frame deck to be submitted for review.

A set consists of a plot plan, drawn on a 1/8" to 1'
scale. The elevation plan, floor plan, framing plan and
foundation plan are to be drawn on a ¼" to 1'
scale. Details are to be drawn to a larger scale.
·
Plans must be submitted on a minimum 11" x 17"
or larger paper.
When
preparing plans, be certain adequate information is provided.

Plot Plan (Figure 1)
The plot plan must show the dimensions of the property,
location and setbacks of the existing structure and location
of the proposed deck.
·
Floor Plan (Figure 2)
A floor plan must show the existing interior layout of the
building and how the proposed deck is integrated with the
current interior layout.
·
Exterior Elevation (Figure 3a and b)
The elevation plan shows how the proposed deck will look
when completed. Elevation plans will help visualize the
proposed deck with side and front views.
STRUCTURAL

In
addition to the plot plan, floor plan and elevation plan,
the plan must show and define the structural members of
the proposed deck.
·
Foundation Plan (Figure 4)

such as floor joists, floor deck, beams or girders and columns.
The sizes and spacing of these members must be shown on
this plan.
