Building C – Architectural CommentsSecond plan review comment: The architect-on-record shall stamp and sign all architectural drawings.
On sheet A0.C1 - Under School Fee, provide references for the Total Gross square footage and Commercial square footage.
On sheet A2.C2.1 – Level 1 Egress, the occupant load calculation at the exit door located south of the parking structure and north of Retail-C4 may be underestimated. Exit garage stair #2 carries 62 occupants from the third story to the grade level. Plan shows occupant load from the parking structure is 83, which appears to be the occupant load from the garage grade level. Half of the occupant load from Retail C5, C6, C7, and C8 enters into the corridor, which increase the occupant number at that exit. The combined R2 and S1 occupant loads is 62. The total occupant load at that exit is “Garage stair #2 + Garage grade level + Retail + R2/S1” = 62+83+23+62=230. The calculated width is 230 occupant x 0.2 = 46 inches. A 36-inch door is provided at that exit.
On sheet A2.C2.1 – It appears there are four openings from the parking structure to the apartment building at level 1, but only two exits are utilized for occupant load calculations. The parking structure is roughly scaled at 240’ by 140’. The parking structure area is approximately 33,600 square feet. The occupant load is 33,600/200 = 168. There are two exits from the apartment building that indicate 83 occupants from the garage (83 is about half of 168). Are the other two openings from the parking structure not designed as an Exit per section 1022?
On sheet A7.C6.1.1 – The two fire rated doors are missing between Garage Stair #2 and the two-hour exit passageway.
On sheet A7.C4.1.1 – Door ST-27 should swing towards the building since the occupant load in the courtyard is greater than 50.
On sheet A7.C4.1.1 – The two fire rated doors are missing between the garage and the apartment building.
The horizontal exits are shown on level 4, 5, 6, and 7 but not on level 1, 2, and 3. Is that correct?
On sheet A2.C3.1, the opening protections are missing on the west side of the building.
