New Windows Can Trigger Design Review
An interior kitchen remodel goes straight to building plan check. But Pleasanton’s Administrative Design Review covers new windows and exterior changes over 10 feet in height, so a new window over the sink or a kitchen bump-out can bring in ADR and the 7-day neighbor comment period.
Administrative Design Review (ADR) is required for single-family changes over 10 feet in height, including additions, roof changes, new windows and accessory structures. Adjacent neighbors get 7 days to comment or request a Zoning Administrator hearing. If no hearing is requested, the project is approved administratively, followed by a 15-day appeal period; appeals go to the Planning Commission with a 1,000-foot notice radius. In Ruby Hill and Golden Eagle, an HOA approval letter is part of the ADR submittal.
Building Plan Check Items
- Stamped structural calculations for removed bearing walls.
- Title 24 energy compliance, CALGreen documentation, and Pleasanton’s Build It Green checklist where required.
- Dedicated appliance circuits with GFCI and AFCI protection.
Pleasanton adopted EV-charging and building-electrification reach codes in the 2022 code cycle; we confirm current requirements for your scope.
