12 SITE PLAN NWPCA Fire Code Compliance Manual for Outdoor Storage of Wood Pallets | Version 1.0 (December 2017) "The detail required for site plans can vary jurisdiction by jurisdiction. At a minimum site plans should be neat, accurate and the areas depicted close to scale in relationship to each other. In some states any time a code or regulation calls for a plan submittal it must be prepared by a registered design professional. Where the state might not require a registered design professional, the AHJ might have authority to require the use of one. The best option is to check with the AHJ where your facility is located as to the detail the AHJ desires and whom may prepare the plan. The best starting point is an existing site plan if one exists. Sources would include the initial site plan when the business was established on the site, or when building additions or other improvements were made to the site. If you don't have a copy in your files the design professionals or contractors utilized might have copies. Other sources would be the local building, planning or zoning departments that were involved in the application and approval process construction permitted activities to occur. If you cannot obtain a copy of an existing site plan and the use of a design profession all is not required for the final submitted document, a cost-effective way to obtain a base site plan to work from is to employ the services of a land surveyor firm and have a survey of your property prepared. This has the added benefit of providing accurate lot line locations, distances to buildings, etc., for your use to accurately lay out the areas and items needed to comply with the fire code requirements." An example of a properly formatted site plan is provided on the following page.
