How to resubmit after Glendale plan check corrections

1. Corrections are requested by email; the email brings a marked-up package describing the revisions or additions needed to the drawings and documents.
2. Make the revisions or additions, then upload a new complete set of revised drawings and documents for the next review cycle.
3. Delta and cloud all revisions.
4. Plans go in as one complete PDF, not individual pages; other documents (application, calculations, reports) go as separate PDFs named by content.

What a good response to marked-up package has

General guidance, not the City of Glendale’s own rules. Check its page before you resubmit.

• Answer every comment, in the reviewer’s order and numbering, so nothing is missed.
• Say plainly what you changed for each comment, or why no change is needed.
• Name the sheet and detail where each change is, so the reviewer can find it fast.
• Mark changes on the drawings (clouds or deltas are common) and keep sheet numbers the same.
• Send the response letter, the revised drawings and any new calculations together.
