The City of Morro Bay has developed an Electronic Plan Review (EPR) program designed to streamline the plan submittal process, reduce: 1) paper waste, 2) expenses, and 3) the inconvenience of printing and shipping multiple copies of construction plans. EPR will allow concurrent review by Morro Bay staff which will reduce plan review times and create a consolidated corrections list that an applicant can use to track and respond to comments.
Alternatively, paper applications and fees are also accepted through the front counter at Community Development, 955 Shasta Avenue Monday through Thursday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM and Friday from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM.
