Site Plans for Decks, Porches & Patios
Adding a porch or a deck is the best way to expand your outdoor living area, but in many states, even an open-air addition requires a permit. At Prime Site Plan, we specialize in site plans for decks, porches and patios that meet the most demanding building codes. We focus on the critical distances between your new addition, your home, and other features like pools or property lines.
Lot Coverage in Your Deck & Porch Site Plan
High-density areas like Los Angeles County require meticulous area calculations to ensure you don’t exceed your lot’s buildable limit. Our GIS-based approach allows us to calculate your total impervious surface area with extreme accuracy, saving you from permit rejections due to calculation errors.
How to Get Site Plans for Decks & Porches
Our site plans are non-certified and are not intended to replace a legal survey.
The Prime Advantage
Example: Deck & Porch Site Plan in Alhambra, CA
Los Angeles County is one of the strictest jurisdictions in the country for outdoor additions. In Alhambra, enclosing a patio or building a new porch counts as structural work, and every application is reviewed by the City of Alhambra Building Division before a single board goes up. Plans must also clear the Planning Division, which checks the project against the city’s zoning and lot coverage rules.
This is why site plans for decks in high-density areas need a mandatory area calculation table, not just a drawing. The sample above shows the exact relationship between the new porch addition and the primary residence, along with precise stair and landing dimensions, structural footprints, and safety clearances measured from every property line.
Our GIS-based process calculates your total impervious versus pervious surface area to the accuracy Los Angeles County reviewers expect — the single most common reason deck and porch permits get rejected. Every deck & porch site plan we deliver includes unlimited revisions, so if a plan checker asks for an adjustment, we handle it at no cost.
