| CLIENT: | Cable Park BoA for Nelson Worldwide, LLC |
| LOCATION: | Orangevale, CA |
| PROJECT TYPE: | Shopping Ctr TI |
Permit Place recently completed permit expediting services for Nelson Worldwide, LLC and their client, Cable Park Bank of America, supporting a tenant improvement (TI) project in a busy shopping center in Orangevale, CA. The scope included new commercial remote ATM installations, some exterior and some interior, requiring coordination across multiple disciplines and close alignment with the Sacramento County Community Development Department – Building Permits and Inspection Division.
From initial intake through plan check approval, Permit Place managed the submittal, tracking, and coordination process over a 173-day timeline. Our team ensured all application materials, responses, and revisions were packaged to meet Sacramento County’s specific requirements for banking and security-related improvements.
Challenges
The Sacramento County Community Development Department – Building Permits and Inspection Division is known as a difficult AHJ to communicate with. Response times were inconsistent and it was challenging to obtain clear, consolidated feedback on comments affecting both interior and exterior ATM locations. In addition, as this was a standalone project rather than part of a broader program, there were no existing, active channels with familiar contacts to streamline communication.
Solutions and Strategies
Permit Place relied on its established Due Diligence process and proactive measures to keep the project moving. Our team clarified submittal requirements up front, anticipated multi-department review needs, and strategically planned applications to minimize rework. When initial outreach to previously known contacts (including prior collaborators at the county) did not yield results, we escalated to new points of contact and maintained consistent, documented follow-up to drive the plan check approval forward.
Project Wins
Direct, persistent communication with Sacramento County at the later stages of review ultimately moved the project to final approval. By staying engaged with reviewers, promptly addressing comments, and coordinating responses with Nelson Worldwide, LLC, Permit Place helped secure permits for both exterior and interior ATM installations within the 173-day window. The successful completion of this shopping center TI demonstrates how our permit expediting services, grounded in solid Due Diligence and proactive measures, can overcome communication challenges with even the most demanding jurisdictions.
