Planning
The health and safety of our community is our highest priority. Due to ongoing COVID-19 safety concerns, the Permit Center remains closed until further notice. Community Development staff are working remotely. Planning staff are available to assist by email (planner@sanleandro.org) and phone (leave a detailed message at 510-577-3325). Please contact us before filing an application. |
We are currently experiencing a very high volume of applications combined with staffing limitations and ongoing COVID-19 safety protocols. Your patience and understanding is appreciated.If you have questions or concerns about limitations on business or construction activities in the City of San Leandro, please review the current Alameda County Health Order and Workplace Guidance. |
General Information |
Self-service zoning, records and permit information can be accessed online anytime. You can see what projects are going on in your neighborhood by using the CityDash viewer. General Planning questions can be sent to planner@sanleandro.org or leave a detailed message at 510-577-3325. We encourage you to use our online resources, including our Zoning Map, Permit Status, and Planning Handouts (Including our Accessory Dwelling Unit Info Handout). Planning is unable to determine or certify if a business or activity is permitted or qualified under the County's Health Order. |
Applications in Progress / Resubmittals |
Planning applications that have already been submitted will continue to be processed. Resubmittals will be accommodated via mail and electronic methods. Please contact your assigned project planner for instructions. Please note that review time may be longer than usual due to public agency resources being directed to emergency operations. To see if there is a planning application in progress near you, use the CityDash viewer. |
New Applications |
New Planning applications are accepted online through our Accela Citizen Portal. To apply for a Planning Permit, you will need to complete the required Planning Form. Please reference our Planning Application Submittals Guide for detailed instructions. Building and Engineering permit applications will not be accepted by Planning. Planners are available to provide assistance and guidance with the preparation of your application. Please contact us before filing an application for assistance. |
Building Permits |
Please contact the Building Division if you need to submit a Building Permit application, such as for solar, electrical, meter upgrades, accessory dwelling unit (ADU), construction, and demolition. Please review the Building Division's special instructions for submitting during this time. Construction and field inspections are limited to activities authorized under the current Health Order. |
