Building plan check is only one part of the often-complex process by which projects are
reviewed for approval. These parts are interrelated and are sometimes conflicting. It is
ultimately the applicant’s responsibility to coordinate these requirements.
Please provide the following information to enable completion of this plan review:
1. Fire sprinklers are required to be installed on the main level of your unit
because the total building fire area is over the 5,000 SF trigger for sprinklers.
The basement is not allowed to be excluded from your fire area due to the fact
that it is currently sprinklered. Please revise this note.
2. Please provide an unprotected copy of the structural verification letter so that I
may copy and paste it onto the City provided coversheet. I also need an
unprotected copy of the equipment plan so that I may stamp it reviewed.
3. Travel distance lines need to be drawn rectilinearly not on a diagonal through
spaces, please revise. This will cause your common path travel distance to
exceed 75', submit a formal request addressed to the Chief Building Official
requesting to be exempted from the required second exit due to the historic
nature of the property and existing conditions.
4. You have mislabeled your 56"x60" clear space for the water closet.
5. You have mislabeled the dimensions of this door clearance, please revise.
6. Identify the height of these tables for compliance with accessibility
requirements, at least one table must be of compliant height.
7. Clearly show how you are providing compliant lighting controls per IECC
C405.2. You are exempt from daylight responsive controls but the main space
requires a time-switch control (C405.2.2). All lighting is required to have
manual light reduction controls that allow an occupant to reduce the lighting
load by 50% (C405.2.2.2). This includes the workspace lighting that is on an
occupant sensor.
8. You need to do the ComCheck using the space by space method rather than
building area method as that category doesn't apply to the entire building.
You will want to differentiate between dining/lounge areas, restrooms, and
employee areas using the applicable space types from table C405.4.2(2).
9. You are missing several fixtures on this report that are shown in the RCP,
lighting plan and on the lighting fixture schedule. All proposed fixtures
should be included in this report unless they meet one of the exceptions to
IECC C405.4.1.
10. Provide a type II hood for the dishwasher or demonstrate that the HVAC
system in this location is adequately sized per IMC 507.3.
11. Your cooking appliance is listed UL 710B, demonstrate that the HVAC
system is sized properly to account for the required ventilation for that
appliance per IMC 507.1 exception 2.
12. Bottom edge of mirror can be a maximum of 40" above the floor per ANSI
603.3. Please revise.
13. Maximum height of the diaper changing table is 34" per ANSI 603.5 and
9021.4, please revise your dimension to call out this maximum height rather
than per manufacturer standards.
