One fail per City ask on resubmittals

Resubmittal screenings now check only whether each City ask was delivered, across every current file, with one round summary. A delivered item with a defect, such as a missing signature, resolves its ask and shows as a staff note rather than a new applicant fail.

Resubmittals graded against what staff asked for

A screener resubmittal is now graded only against what City staff actually asked for, read from the permit system's communications, review comments and marked-up attachments, and against the whole current application rather than only that round's uploads.

Filled Sign Permit Application for Laguna Beach sign filings

When a Laguna Beach sign filing arrives on the retired Planning Application or without signatures, staff can return the City's July 2026 Sign Permit Application pre-filled from the submittal, with each signature the applicant owes highlighted.

Laguna Beach reroof filings ask for Planning approval first

When the City record shows no Zone Clearance on file, Laguna Beach residential and commercial reroof screenings now list Planning approval as a missing item in the applicant email, instead of leaving it as a staff-only note that never reached the letter.
