PLAN CHECK COMMENTS:This project is in a special flood hazard area designated on the flood insurance rate map (FIRM) as zone A. This zone requires that the lowest finish floor elevation (including basement) of the structure shall be at (or above) base flood elevation determined by a hydrology study for the A zoneon the flood insurance rate map. All elevations must be referenced to the National Geodetic Vertical Datum. Reference should be made to the Flood Plain Management Ordinance, Santa Ana Municipal Code, Chapter 7, for complete requirements. Drawings shall show compliance with said ordinance including noting flood zone and finish floor elevation.PC2: Provide hydrology report determining the base flood elevation, elevation certificate and a copy of grading plans to verify the finish floor elevation shown on sheet A1.1.Note on Plans: A Federal Emergency Management Agency National Flood Insurance Program ELEVATION CERTIFICATE shall be completed by a California Licensed Land Surveyor or California Registered Civil Engineer who is authorized to practice land surveying. The completed ELEVATION CERTIFICATE must be submitted to the Building Inspector at the time of foundation inspection, and a final certificate must be submitted at the time of final inspection.Submit the following documentation for plan check:Hydrology study to determine base flood elevation, prepared by the licensed professional engineer.PC2: not submitted.Elevation Certificate.

However the current egress design is not showing fully compliance of the code, please provide new egress design:Indicate square footage, occupant load factor and number of occupant in each room/space.The following assembly use area shall use 15 occupant/sf instead of 150 occupant/sf: waiting (101), pharmacy lobby (121), conference room (109) and breakroom (111).By measuring the huge combined space of waiting and pharmacy lobby. It is roughly 668 sf. the occupant load is around 45 persons. Please note that if the anticipated occupant load is exiting from the door #123 and #125 into this space and may result the total occupant load exceeds 49. Therefore, two exterior exit doors with proper separation will be required in this room/space.The common egress path of travel from office (124) exceeds 100 feet per table 1006.2. Two means of egress is required.A recommended solution is to provide an enclosed corridor (comply with section 1020) connected hallway 129 and exit door 104. This may reduce the breakroom size 111. By doing so, please also clarify the shown egress route direction, illuminated and tactile signage location…Ensure item a through d complies.Sheet A-1.2.
