Note: Numbers in parenthesis (unless otherwise noted) refer to code sections of the 2010 California Building Code (CBC); MC = 2010 California Mechanical Code; PC = 2010 California Plumbing Code; EC = 2010 California Electrical Code; T = Table; ICC = International Code Council.All items noted on this plan check report must be addressed. If you feel that an item is not applicable to your project, note “N/A” and discuss the reason with the plan checker.Please indicate the sheet number and detail to the right of each correction, or note the number on the plans where the correction is made. Resubmit 3 corrected sets of plans.This review does not include mechanical, plumbing or electrical work. Separate plans, applications, fees, plan checks, and permits are required for mechanical, plumbing, and electrical work. Call 647-5800 for information.]The applicant shall obtain clearances/approvals for the following, prior to building permit issuance:
- Planning Division approval on the corrected/final set of drawings (647-5804). Previously
approved plans should be submitted to expedite the process.Public Works Agency approval (647-5039).
- Proof of Worker's Compensation Insurance shall be required at the time of permit issuance.Fireblockingis required in concealed spaces 10’ o.c. horizontal, vertically at the ceiling and floor levels, connections between horizontal and vertical spaces, concealed spaces between stair and landing, openings around vents, pipes, ducts, cables, wires, chimneys and fireplaces. (CRC R302.11)Please complete roof framing plan for garage area and incorporate results of calculations into drawings.Show tempered glass for toilet room. Clarify if wall or window to be modified as part of this permit.Summit lateral analysis for proposed addition. Incorporate results of calculations into drawings prior to re-submittal for recheck.
In lieu of soils investigation report per Sections 1803.6 of the 2010 California Building Code, revise structural calculations for minimum foundation/footing design requirements for small projects as follows per City of Santa Ana policy:
- Allowable foundation pressure not to exceed 1000 PSF.
- Footing to have minimum reinforcement of: 2 #4 at top and 2 #4 at bottom.
Show positive attachment for ceiling joist when placed as rafter ties to resist tension load of roof rafters.
The City has encountered a large number of inspection problems arising from a lack of specific framing details. The following listed items are required to be shown on the plans (CBC 107.1):
- All plumbing walls are to be framed with a minimum of 6" studs.
- Double walls used as plumbing walls are to be a minimum of 8" wide and no "flat" studs permitted.
Staggered studs are acceptable.
- Permissible notching and boring of joists are to be shown on the plans and shall not exceed CBC
Section 2308.10.4.2 allowances.
- Notching of exterior and bearing/nonbearing walls shall not exceed 25%/40% respectively. Bored
holes in bearing/nonbearing walls shall not exceed 40%/60% respectively. In no case shall the
edge of the bored hole be nearer than 5/8 inch to the edge of the stud. (2308.9.10 and 2308.9.11)
- Header and trimmer details for doors and windows are to be shown with full length trimmers,
specifying the size of the header and trimmer. (2308.10.4.3)
(When applicable) Walls braced to resist wind and seismic forces shall not exceed the following height to width ratios: 2 for 1 for plywood. Framing members or blocking shall be provided at the edges of all sheets in shear walls; 2 to 1 for gypsum wallboard and Portland cement plaster (stucco). Wall sections having height-to-length ratios in excess of 1 ½ to 1 shall be blocked. (2305, T2306.3, AF&PA SDPWS T4.3.4)
(when applicable) Revise structural calculations to show compliance with AF&PA SDPWS T4.3.4 for shear wall ratio of 2:1. For design to resist seismic forces, shear wall height-width ratios greater than 2:1, but not exceeding 3½:1, are permitted provided the allowable shear values in T4.3.4 are multiplied by 2bs/h.
(when applicable) Sill plates supporting shear walls with lateral loads greater than 350 pounds/foot require a 3-inch nominal or greater member. (T2306.3, Footnote i)
Please specify special inspection when nailing for roof or shear wall is spaced at 4” or less.
