These may be picked up at Building and Planning department at applicants’ discretion.DocumentationBase Flood Elevation provided in Elevation Certificate is not acceptable. LOMA from neighboring lots is not adequate for proposed lot. Base Flood Elevation must be determined for specific lot by hydrology report or LOMA for specific structure in lot.Provide final Elevation Certificate in drawing set sheets.DrawingsSheet A.01

☐Floor area per occupancy group, including the existing structure(s)
☐Construction shall comply with the 2022 CRC, CBC, CPC, CMC, CEC, California Green Building Code, and California Energy Efficiency Standards Code editions.Note on plan: Mechanical, electrical and plumbing are not part of this plan review and approval. MEP are subject to building field inspection.Sheet A.02 in Title Sheet not provided in set, please provide or remove from Sheet Index.Provide Finish Floor elevation and Highest Adjacent Grade at new ADU to match Grading for clarity. See Documentation Comments regarding Base Flood Elevation. Any change required for comments shall be incorporated in Grading Plans and Site Plan.Sheet A.06Verify Whole House Fan 2600 CFM specified on plans vs Specs provided on sheet. PC #2: Justify omitting full house fan for 1000 sqft structure. Provide exemption per ASHRAE Standard 62.2. Whole house fan spec is still provided on sheet and should be specified on plan where occurs. All code references shall reference latest 2022 code. (e.g. Window schedule notes).
Attic access and Ventilations –
☐Show location(s) of 22" x 30" attic access with 30" minimum clear headroom. (R807.1)
☐Show on the plans - attic vent locations, type and size (area = 1/150 of the attic space). Provide an attic cross ventilation summary; on the plans indicate the total area required versus provided. (R806.1)
☒Where applicable, for an FAU located in the attic, provide a minimum access of 22 x 30 inches, a 24-inch wide walkway, a 30-inch deep work platform, and electric light outlet adjacent to the furnace and switched by the opening. (CMC 904.11 & 305)Sheet A.07Provide roof slope on Sections/Elevations. Legend provided is not found on plans.Specify Radiant Barrier requirement on Building Sections per Title 24.Verify side attic vents shown in East and West elevation with vent calculations provided. If intended to be used, provide vent information on Elevations.Verify Skylight location shown on Electrical Plans, it looks to be in conflict with proposed solar panels. Provide skylight information and framing as needed.Sheet S1Provide roof sheathing information on plans.Provide Shearwall A in Shearwall schedule or revise type along plan east wall. Current drag shear transfer at middle shearwall does not adequately transfer shear from Roof Diaphragm to drag member (dropped ceiling beam) as shown in detail 12A/SD2. Provide adequate shear transfer from roof to shearwall.PC #2: Comment not adequately addressed. Verify shear transfer from roof diaphragm to drop beam drag along beam to shear wall to act as drag. Else provide calculations for unbraced drop beam as drag member with appropriate drag load. PC #3: Please see following comments regarding new detail 19/SD2.Verify if plywood across entire ceiling beam will block attic space continuation. If blocked, ensure adequate attic ventilation is provided on each individual space.Transfer to dropped ceiling beam is unclear at strap transfer to wall. Verify ceiling beam elevation relative to top of shear wall as well as strap height location at wall. Strap should be ensured to be at top of shear wall.It is recommended to utilize double roof rafter with edge nailing at drag location to transfer drag load directly to top of wall. Ceiling Beam #3 is designed as DF #1 in provided calculation package. Revise general notes to DF #1 for 4x10 or specify beam specific grade on plans. Additional CommentsSpecify on Proposed Site Plan/Roof Plan where fire rated projection is required per Note 3.Note 3 for fire rated projection references detail 10/AD06. Please revise to correct detail. Please add the following energy requirements to set:
