U-Plan Submission & Review Process

Font Size: + -

Feedback Print

A Utility plan (U-plan) follows a similar review process as city development plans do.

An application is submitted to the City of Oceanside Development Services Technicians (front counter staff) for the proposed utility.
- Engineering Document Submittal Application must be submitted.
- A Box account is necessary to submit online. See How to create Box Account.
- For more information on how to make an application/submittal to the Development Services Technicians see the Online Plan Submittal Work Flow.
An invoice is generated and paid for, and front counter staff sends a link for applicant to upload construction documents (the U-plan).
Front Counter Staff generates a digital review session of the plans through plan review program (Bluebeam) for Engineering and Water Utilities staff.
Engineering and Water Utilities review the plan within a 5-day or 30-day timeframe depending upon the scope of the utility work. Comments and redlines are made to the plans as necessary.
After Engineering and Water Utilities have completed review, the Bluebeam comments (and any other additional documents/comments letters) are compiled through front counter staff and sent back to applicant along with a link to resubmit an updated plan.
If Engineering and Water Utilities have no further comments, then both departments will approve of the U-Plan and affix approval stamps to the U-plan. Front counter staff will then send back the approved plan to applicant.
Once applicant has a U-plan with approval stamps from both Engineering and Water Utilities, the U-Plan review process is completed. Note: U-Plan approval is required before the Right-of-Way Permit can be issued for the project.

For any further questions on the U-Plan review process, please contact the Development Services Technicians: Development_Services_Technicians@oceansideca.org.
