Overview

• There are no zoning setbacks for a gas line; however, setbacks apply to built-in firepits, outdoor fireplaces, built-in barbecues, and mechanical equipment such as pool heaters
• Your Homeowners Association may have its own approval process. Review your HOA policies and procedures before proceeding with your design plans
• If the property is a condominium, you will need to provide a copy of the approval letter from your Homeowners Association
• After you have completed and gathered all of the required documents, you will need to submit your permit application and plans electronically through the IrvineReady! Online Plan Submission Portal
