PLAN REVIEW COMMENTS:
TITLE SHEET
This project proposes a 43,904 square-foot laboratory space. Section 453 of the 2022 California Building Code details specific requirements, including size limitations for laboratory suites, which could significantly affect the current design. For instance, Section 453.3.1 limits the gross floor area of an individual laboratory suite to 10,000 square feet. To review the requirements, first establish if this project meets the code definition of Laboratory and Laboratory Suite. If so, the design shall incorporate all of the Section 453 requirements, with the title sheet explicitly stating: “This project shall meet all of the Section 453 requirements.”
Permit records show that this building was constructed in 1969 as an industrial and office building with Type III-N construction. The occupancy group was identified as B-2. Under Project Data, the construction type is identified as 'V-B'. Please verify the actual type of construction in this building.
There appears to be some missing texts on Fire Sprinkler line “Full Per…”
The math does not add up in the floor are calculations. The total business occupancy area is 51,154 S.F. net. Level-1 business occupancy area is 41,130 S.F. net. Level-2 business occupancy area is 9,134 S.F. net. 41,130+9,134 = 50,264 S.F.
There is an inconsistency in the floor area calculations for the business occupancy. The total business occupancy area is reported as 51,154 square feet (net). However, when summing up the individual floor areas of Level-1 and Level-2, the result is 50,464 square feet (41,310+9,154). This indicates a discrepancy of 690 square feet (51,154-50,264) in the calculations.
The allowable height of 70 feet is incorrect. The allowable height is 75 feet.
The allowable number of stories of two in incorrect. The allowable number of stories is four.
Revise the fire-resistive rating of each building elements based on type III-B construction.
Include “City of Santa Ana Municipal Code” under the governing code section.
There are two separate Project Data sections with conflicting information. One-section states type V-A construction whereas the other section states type V-B construction. See item #5 for type of construction verification.
The plan indicates an office use on the Occupancy Group. However, a more appropriate classification for the design would be a laboratory use.
Revise the code edition year to “2022” on the accessibility compliance statement.
Provide the following notes on the Deferred Submittal section:
Documents for deferred submittal items shall be submitted to the registered design professional in responsible charge who shall review them and forward them to the building official with a notation indicating that the deferred submittal documents have been reviewed and found to be in general conformance to the design of the building. The deferred submittal items shall not be installed until the deferred submittal documents have been approved by the building official.
Fire sprinkler drawings shall be submitted and approved by the Orange County Fire Authority (OCFA) prior to the final of the building permit.
Sheet A0.01
Sheet A2.02 is missing on the sheet index.
Sheet A0.04
Clearly label all exterior exit doors with the exit sign.
1st PC Comment: When conducting occupant load calculations, it is essential to utilize the gross area rather than the net area. All areas including corridors, storages, and stairways should be included from the calculations. For business areas and accessory storage areas, it is required to apply gross area calculations as per the 2022 California Building Code Table 1004.5.
2nd PC Comment: This item remains outstanding.
On the occupant load table, show the total area at the last row of the area column. This number should match the first floor area as stated on the title sheet.
There is a dead-end corridor condition, which exceeds the 50 feet limitation. This dead-end corridor is located outside of the Gas room.
There are three exit paths with distance greater than 100 feet from the most remote point to the point where occupant has options of two exit routes. This distance is defined as common path of egress travel per the 2022 California Building Code Table 1006.2.1. Revise the floor plan, so that all common path of egress travel is within the code allowable limit.
Structural drawings and calculations
The engineer on record shall sign the structural drawings on the next submittal.
