Development Review Agency Contact List (updated 09/2009) [.pdf]
Planning Services
Planning Services is the primary contact for permit requests. We determine whether your development proposal conforms to state and local planning regulations. Further, we complete or coordinate any environmental review that is required by California state law. Planning Services works closely with other department representatives, and we will represent the county at any public hearings for your project. After your project is approved, Development Services, specifically Planning and Building, will issue any required land use, grading, and building permits.
Numerous on-line tools and resources are available to assist you through the process. Perhaps the best place to begin your research is the “Parcel Data” lookup screen. Here, parcel specific information such as zoning, General Plan land use designation, and applicable fire district can be found:
www.edcgov.us/Planning/ParcelData/EnterAPN.aspx
While not every application is reviewed by each department, you may want to contact the departments listed below to determine what, if any, conditions could be required for approval of your project. This list is by no means all-inclusive. Rather, it is to serve as a basis from which to begin your research and, in turn, to facilitate quicker processing times.
Upon submission of a formal application, your project will be distributed to any and all applicable departments and agencies. These agencies, along with a representative from Planning Services, will review your project together at a Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) meeting which will be scheduled early in the planning process. When your project is reviewed, each respective agency will provide comments in the form of technical advice, analysis, and conditions of approval to be applied by the decision making body. Planning Services compiles their comments, along with information obtained through our own research, to develop documents and a recommendation intended to aid elected and appointed officials in their decision making.
Listed below is the name of each reviewing department, its current representative, and examples of the types of issues reviewed by each:

Local Outside Agencies
You should contact any public services district which has jurisdiction over your project site, such as local school and fire districts which often assess development fees prior to processing applications for building permits. If the property is within the architecturally controlled area of El Dorado Hills CSD or Cameron Park CSD, architectural approval of the plans from the district prior to permit issuance is a requirement. Failure to obtain approval may delay issuance of your permit. Finally, check with your individual association for any restrictions (e.g., C.C. & R’s) that may affect your project. Neither Planning nor Building Services enforce association restrictions. As such, it is your responsibility to insure compliance.
