The City of Solana Beach will now resume essential services related to discretionary and ministerial plan review services beginning Thursday, March 26th. These services will resume by appointment only. The purpose of the Plan and Document Drop-Off information is to inform the public, architects, designers, engineers, etc. of the expectations of City personnel and to ensure the health, safety, and well-being of customers, and City staff.
