Ensure you have all the required documents prior to uploading as insufficient submittals delay the review process. A few things to know about document requirements are:

• Documents and plans are to be separated into the categories specified on the uploading page. Submittals received as one combined set of drawings will be returned to the applicant.
• Documents must be to scale, PDF format, under 50MB, and named appropriately.
• Sealed plans will need to be unlocked in order to allow markups.
• Applicable documents will be stamped “Reviewed for Construction” at the conclusion of the review.
• List of submittals for most typical applications.

To upload documents on the “Upload Files” page:

• Step 1: Navigate down to the ‘Current Submittal – Submittal #1’ section.
• Step 2: Drag and drop files into the appropriate category.
• Step 3: Provide a brief description of the file.
• Step 4: Relevant documents that do not fit in a submittal category can be uploaded in the ‘Upload Additional Documents’ section.

Resubmittals:

• When additional information is required, documents may be returned to you for corrections to be made with details on a Corrections Notice letter.
• Documents returned for correction should be saved as the same file name and uploaded to the same submittal type when all requested corrections have been completed.
• The Portal is open to receive documents when the Application Status is:
  
  • Returned for Correction
  • Waiting for Resubmittal
  • Insufficient Submittal
• Once the corrected documents are received by administration, the application will begin a second review.

• Log-in to CityView Portal and select the appropriate application under “My Items”. Scroll down to “Reviews” to access the visible review process along with the contact information of reviewers.
