See if you can find out what they are specifically looking for. Might be as simple as making sure a lift isn't blocking a door. If they ask about lighting, tell them it's the way you found it. Same for the restrooms. Ask if they have the previous permits and drawings on file. Hopefully what you can say is close enough to the truth about no changes. They aren't stupid and know what will roll and what won't. It's only the stationary equipment they seem to look at. I don't think the City of VN is going to go all OSHA on you.
There are some ADA things you need to comply with, so get a copy of the code. The city does administer the ADA code.
Most of the time you can do this on 8 1/2 x 11 graph sheets showing anything stationary including interior walls. If the fire dept has been there and is happy with what they see, that helps.
I'm sure you know all about oils, solvents, paints and other flammable materials. The city and the fire dept like to see how those are handled. Outside within a dam or berm is best.
It's been so long since I did these plans that I'm not up to speed. I think it used to be that if there were more than 6 employees, and of both sexes, you had to maintain 2 separate restrooms. They just want to put A and B together and maybe C.
Stay away from lighting plans and have the engineering sheets from the lifts available to show they will sit on your existing floor w/o any additional modifications.
I hope you don't have an engine dyno there (inside). Or a spray booth.
