Architect plans only
I'm wondering if anyone can recommend an architect who charges by the hour to just draw up plans and deal with permitting process? The couple I've talked to charge a percentage of the overall cost of the project, which includes supervising the construction. But I'm a former contractor and will be buying most of the supplies at my reduced contractor rate, and my good friend who's still a general contractor will be doing the job, so I don't need someone to supervise the build. I just need plans to submit to the city to get permits. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks.

You could ask Susanne Stadler, she was the architect for our backyard studio. Very talented, very nice. sstadler [at] stadlerarch.com, http://www.stadlerarch.com/. ~Rebecca on Chestnut
We have been working with Ann Maria Celona, who's based in Berkeley, and have been very happy with her work so far. She charges an hourly rate and bills monthly.
Chez Santini did a great job for us doing exactly what you're looking for. He's not a licenced architect but his plans were easily approved by Berkeley, so he knows what he's doing: https://www.santinicreations.com
You could try my architect. I believe he would do that, no problem.
