| CLIENT: | Cable Park BoA ATM for Nelson Worldwide, LLC |
| LOCATION: | Orangevale, CA |
| PROJECT TYPE: | Shopping Ctr TI |
Permit Place recently completed permit expediting services for Nelson Worldwide, LLC on the Cable Park BoA ATM project in Orangevale, CA. The scope included permitting new commercial remote ATM installations—some exterior, some interior—within a shopping center (Shopping Ctr) as a tenant improvement (TI) project. Although this was not part of a larger national or regional roll-out program, the project demanded the same level of rigor and coordination as a multi-site effort.
Our team managed the full path to plan check approval with the Sacramento County Department of Community Development – Building Permits and Inspection Division, aligning submittals, communications, and responses across departments to keep this complex financial services installation moving forward.
Challenges
The primary challenge was working within Sacramento County, a historically difficult authority having jurisdiction (AHJ) for consistent and timely communication. Standard outreach channels often produced delayed or incomplete responses, which risked extending the 173-day timeline from initial plan receipt to permit approval. Ensuring that both interior and exterior remote ATMs met county requirements added another layer of technical review and coordination.
Solutions and Strategies
Permit Place leveraged its established Due Diligence process to identify applicable codes, departmental reviewers, and likely plan check concerns in advance. When communication bottlenecks emerged with the AHJ, our team implemented proactive measures, including escalating to direct contacts within the Sacramento County Building Permits and Inspection Division and strategically timing follow-ups to align with review cycles. This structured, proactive communication and careful application planning helped prevent avoidable rechecks and clarified requirements early.
Project Wins
Despite the communication challenges, Permit Place successfully moved the approval along at the end through direct, persistent coordination with county staff. By maintaining a single point of contact, consolidating responses to reviewer comments, and resolving questions quickly, we kept the project on track and secured plan check approval without major redesigns or scope changes. The result was a fully permitted set of remote ATM installations for Nelson Worldwide, LLC’s client at Cable Park BoA ATM, demonstrating how expert permit expediting services can overcome a difficult AHJ and still deliver a predictable outcome.
