PASS Training Class July 23rd 2015

The PASS program has been designed to streamline permitting throughout the Sacramento region. It will provide a more efficient and effective plan review process by implementing a clear and concise set of standards for document content and organization. Participation is voluntary, and requires a half-day training class. Future classes will include annual updates and expansion of the program. The initial program is targeted at Tenant Improvements and Small Commercial Projects. Jurisdictions involved in the program development included: Cities of Sacramento, Roseville, Folsom, West Sacramento and Davis; Counties of Sacramento and Placer. Additional jurisdictions are expected to adopt the program shortly.

With the Warehouse Artist Loft 116 units fully occupied, the streetfront Bottles and Barlow combo barbershop and bar is getting close to completion, as is the Public Market that is on the loading dock level with a number of the retailers putting finishing touches on their merchandise, and Benjamin busy inside making shoes! The adjacent B&G continues to move resolutely ahead with major structural work still underway – this is the toughest part of saving this historic 3 story unreinforced brick structure.
