Please add the following note to the title sheet:"The existing exterior walls and openings (windows, doors) remain unchanged. This project complies with the California Energy Code, Section 180.2 – Alteration."
Sheet A-0.1
Allowable Exterior Wall Openings
The fire separation distance (FSD) on the north side is 5 feet, on the east side is 10 feet 1 inch, and on the south side is 5 feet. Based on the exterior wall opening limitations outlined in the CBC Table 705.8, it appears that the number of openings may exceed the allowable limits. Please provide calculations to demonstrate compliance with the following:
For FSDs ranging from 5 feet to less than 10 feet, the maximum allowable opening is 25%.
For FSDs ranging from 10 feet to less than 15 feet, the maximum allowable and protected opening is 45%.
Provide detailed calculations to show compliance with the code requirements.
Fifth Plan Check Comment: Show the opening calculations on sheet A8:
North Elevation (The 2nd floor, 3rd floor, 4th floor, 5th floor, and the 6th floor have the same amount of opening)
Story wall area = 115’ x 12’ = 1380 sqft
Opening area = 50’ x 9’ = 450 sqft
% opening = 450/1380 = 0.33 (33% > 25%) justification required.
South Elevation (The 2nd floor, 3rd floor, 4th floor, 5th floor, and the 6th floor have the same amount of opening)
Story wall area = 115’ x 12’ = 1380 sqft
Opening area = 39’ x 7’+6+12 = 291 sqft
% opening = 291/1380 = 0.21 (21% < 25%) therefore opening on South elevation is within code limit.
East Elevation (The 2nd floor, 3rd floor, 4th floor, 5th floor, and the 6th floor have the same amount of opening)
Story wall area = 52’ x 12’ = 624 sqft
Opening area = 21’x7’ + 7’x7’ = 196 sqft
% opening = 196/624 = 0.31 (31% < 45%) therefore opening on East elevation is within code limit.
Sixth Plan Check Comment: Please note on the title sheet: "An ingress access easement shall be recorded prior to building permit final."
The minimum gurney size must be 24" x 84”, and the elevator cab dimensions are smaller than required per Figure 1. The elevator does not meet the stretcher requirements. (3002.4.1a)
Fifth Plan Check Comment: The fire report shall address this item. Provide a letter from the OCFA approving the reduced gurney size.
Sixth Plan Check Comment: Pending OCFA approval.
