If you have any questions, contact Senior Plan Check Engineer Anson So at 714-647-5830 or by email at aso@santa-ana.org. Resubmittal Resubmit the red-marked plans and calculations, if applicable. Resubmit your responses to corrections. Resubmit two corrected sets of construction documents, including plans, structural calculations, energy documents, soils report, and any other related documents. For new construction or additions, provide an additional corrected set. Resubmit all construction documents using one of the following options: Resubmittal Bin:Complete the Plan Check Re-Submittal Form and include it with your resubmittal. The resubmittal bin is located at the building division lobby. Check the holiday closure schedule before your visit. Walk-ins:Resubmittals are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis during daily walk-in hours. However, scheduled appointments take priority over walk-ins. Appointment:Call the building division at 714-647-5800 to schedule a resubmittal appointment. PERMIT APPLICATION On the permit application, it looks like the warehouse racking has been struck out with a pen. Confirm if the racking is included in this building permit or if it is intended to be a separate submittal. PLAN REVIEW COMMENTSTitle SheetProvide a clear 9" x 9" blank space near the bottom-right corner of the title sheet to accommodate City approval stamping. This space must be completely free of text and images to ensure the approval stamps are clearly visible and legible. Provide the architect’s stamp and signature on the plan.Sheet 1-G00-01 Sheets 1-AD13-01 and 1-AD13-1R are out of sequence. They should be the last two sheets in the architectural package. Revise the sheet index to correct the sequencing. This building plan check does not include the Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP) review. Please update the sheet index to either reflect the removal of MEP sheets or reference 'Per Separate MEP Permits.'Sheet 1-A01-01 There are handwritten notes regarding the deferred submittal for the fire suppression sprinkler and high-pile storage system. Include these notes typed on the plans in the next submittal. Provide the following note: “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.” Add the following note: “Fire sprinkler drawings and the high pile storage system shall be submitted and approved by the Orange County Fire Authority (OCFA) prior to the final of the building permit.”The original shell building permit classified the building as S-1 occupancy with a note on the title sheet stating that the building will not be used for high-pile storage. The current TI permit shows high-pile storage. Verify whether the original shell building design remains valid. If high-pile storage is proposed, the design shall be reviewed and approved by OCFA. Provide the following note on the plans indicating the plan check numbers (PC#) and the corresponding scope of work: PC# 101124494: Tenant ImprovementPC# 101124495: LN2 Tank On sheet 1-A01-01, under Section 3.3, Building Planning Information regarding unlimited area, add the following note: “Unlimited area per Section 507.4. Yards use for unlimited building increases, as permitted per CBC Section 507, shall be permanently maintained” On sheet 1-A01-01, under Section 2.3, Site/Parking Notes, add the following note: “The site accessibility design including parking, EV stalls, and accessible routes were previously reviewed and approved under the Shell Permit.”Sheet 1-A11-01 The floor plan shows the tenant improvement area for the logistics center, while other areas are designated as shell space (e.g., Space 700, which is not in scope). For the certificates of occupancy, provide the following: Provide a timeline indicating when the remaining shell space (Space 700) will be submitted to the Building Department. This is required because the building is under a single address/occupancy, and prolonged periods of partial vacancy are not acceptable. Full occupancy should be planned accordingly. Provide a letter signed by the legal property owner, addressed to the Building Official, acknowledging that Shell Space 700 will not be occupied until a permit for tenant improvements has been obtained, approved, and finalized. Add the following note on the plans: "Shell Space 700 shall not be occupied until a permit for tenant improvements is issued and finalized." Clarify whether the outdoor tank is considered astorage or a hazardous occupancy,as this determination is critical for code compliance. Several factors need to be reviewed:Unlimited Area Provision: The original shell building was designed under the unlimited area provision (CBC 507.4), which requires a 60-foot yard surrounding the building. The tank location does not meet this clearance.Multiple Structures / Assumed Property Line: When more than one building or structure exists on a site, an assumed property line is used to determine fire separation distance, which sets exterior wall and opening fire protection requirements. The introduction of this tank may triggers additional fire protection requirements for both the building and the tank enclosure.Hazardous Occupancy Review: If this tank is considered a hazardous occupancy, hazardous occupancy requirements apply. This determination requires review both by the building agency and OCFA, as the code requirements for this occupancy type are comprehensive and affect multiple aspects of design and safety.Sheet 1-A13-01-04 The one-hour wall legend calls out symbols A6, F1, M, and T, but these are not identified on the architectural lead sheet. Clarify the meaning of these symbols and provide corresponding descriptions on the legend sheet.Cross reference the one-hour wall detail.A hand-drawn door is shown outside of the electrical room in the hallway. This door appears to open into an unoccupied space, which is not permitted. Refer to comment 12for additional information.Sheet 1-A42-01Provide guardrail opening limitations per Section 1015.4.Sheet 1-A03-01An occupant load factor of 500 gross (warehouse storage) has been applied to the logistic area. Based on the functions described on the Cryoport website (cell therapy, gene therapy, biologics, reproductive medicine), staff will be working in this space, not just storing materials. Verify operations and provide justification if 500 gross is used, or revise calculations using a more appropriate factor such as 300 gross (Table 1004.5).The one-third overall diagonal distance of 95′‑8″ is measured correctly. However, the separation between the two exits is not, as it is shown passing through walls and equipment. Revise the exit separation measurement to reflect the actual line of travel around obstructions.The calculated occupant load shows 27,217 sq. ft. with an occupant load of 88, followed by 28,537 sq. ft. with an occupant load of 102. Clarify the basis for the 102 occupant load and provide supporting calculations.Based on the occupant load calculation of 102, two exits are required. The plan currently shows six exits. Confirm and document the required number of exits versus the number provided on the plan.Per Section 1016.2, item 5, egress shall not pass through kitchens, storage rooms, closets, or similar spaces. From the office area, revise the exit path to use Exit 15 instead of Exit 13 to avoid passing through the warehouse.End of Architectural Review Comments. See Next Page for Structural Comments. STRUCTURAL PLAN REVIEW COMMENTS: Architectural review is determining the building occupancy classification on the outdoor tank that could potentially be Occupancy H, which could trigger the seismic design Risk category to category III.
