Before approval for code compliance or issuance of a building permit, the plans and specification for this construction require the information, revisions and corrections indicated below. The approval of plans and specifications does not permit the violation of any section of the building code, or other ordinance or state law.

The Building Official may grant a one-time extension of up to 180 additional days. No further extensions will be granted beyond 360 days from the original submittal date.
Effective January 1, 2026, the City of Santa Ana will enforce the 2025 California Building Standards Codes for all new plan submittals. Plans submitted prior to this date shall be governed by the 2022 codes; however, any plan check that expires after January 1, 2026, will be required to comply with the 2025 codes.
When submitting corrections, clearly indicate where each change has been made. Reference the applicable sheet number, detail number, or relevant note for every correction to facilitate accurate and efficient review.

The occupancy group is not VB & S1. Provide the correct occupancy group and type of construction as two separate data entries.
Sheet A-1 shows Business occupancy group “B” and Storage occupancy “S-1”; however, the floor plan indicates a sales area. Revise the occupancy group to Mercantile “M”and maintain Storage occupancy “S-1”.
Verify whether the proposed scope of work includes a change of occupancy. If a change of occupancy is proposed, clearly identify on the plans the occupancy classification(s), showing the existing occupancy and the proposed occupancy. If no change of occupancy is proposed, add a note on the plans stating: "No change of occupancy is proposed."

The plans lack essential accessibility information, including parking, accessible routes, and signage. These details are required to demonstrate compliance with 2022 CBC Chapter 11B, Division 5, and must be provided before a complete plan check can be conducted.
The site plan shows an accessible parking space; however, dimensions are not provided, and the space is not identified as van-accessible as required by Section 11B-208.2.4. Revise to designate the stall as van-accessible and provide full width and length dimensions for both the stall and access aisle.
Revise the access aisle for the van-accessible parking space so that it is located on the passenger side.
Based on Google Street View, the proposed accessible parking space and access aisle differ from existing conditions. Clarify whether the location is being changed or rotated. If so, include this in the scope of work. Provide an existing site plan showing current conditions and a proposed site plan showing the revised layout.
