1. A building permit for a single or two-family residence may be issued after the recording of a Final Plat or
after the lot upon which the building is to be located has otherwise become a buildable lot of record.
2. The approval by the Department of a House Location Plan (HLP), Residential Drainage Plan (RDP), or
Residential Drainage Study (RDS), may be required prior to issuance of the building permit, as noted and
conditioned on the Final Plat or as may be required for compliance with the Georgia Metropolitan River
Protection Act. For such lots, a Certificate of Occupancy shall not be issued until conformance to the HLP,
RDP, or RDS has been field verified by the Planning and Development Department as shown on a certified
field survey prepared by a Registered Land Surveyor and a stamped “as-built” survey has been submitted
to the Department. (See Sections 1115.04 and 1115.05 for plan and study specifications.)
3. Digital drawing files shall be submitted in Adobe PDF file format.
