GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
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.
This plan check will expire 180 days from the original submittal date unless a written request for extension is submitted and approved prior to expiration. The request must include justifiable cause. The Building Official may approve a one-time extension of up to an additional 180 days. No 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.
This review does not include Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP).
Additional plan check fee will be required after the third review on hourly basis.
Obtain any applicable approval from the following agencies prior to permit issuance:
Planning Division – The plans approved by the Building Division must include the Planning approval stamp. Building staff will notify the Planning Division for approval. For approval status, contact the Planning Division at (714) 647-5804 or visit the Planning Division counters.
Public Works Agency (PWA) – Obtain PWA clearance if any of the following applies: project valuation exceeds $30,000, project has added plumbing fixtures, added bedrooms, or project exceeds 500 square foot in new construction (not renovation). After the Building Division approves your project, visit the Building Division counters and request a copy of the approved plan. Bring the approved plan to the PWA counters for approval. After PWA approves your project, return the approved plan to the Building Division counters.
Police Department (PD) – The plans approved by the Building Division must include the PD approval stamp. After the Building Division approves your project, Building staff will notify PD for approval. For approval status, contact the PD at (714) 647-5840 or email PolicePlanCheck@santa-ana.org.
Orange County Fire Authority (OCFA) - Submit plans to OCFA immediately if you answer “Yes” to any part of questions 1 through 10 on the plan submittal criteria. Bring an OCFA approved plan to the Building Division counters for permit issuance. Contact OCFA for approval status.
County of Orange, Health Care Agency, Environmental Health (OC Health) – Submit plans to OC Health if the business involves food service. Contact OC Health for submittal requirements. If OC Health approval is required, bring an OC Health approved plan to the Building Division counters for permit issuance.

PLAN REVIEW COMMENTS
TITLE SHEET
Provide a 9" x 9" blank space near the bottom-right corner of the title sheet, outside the title block, for the City approval stamps.
Provide a sheet index.
The project address is incomplete. Include the city, state, and zip code to provide the full address.
Provide a detailed scope of work for this project.
Provide a vicinity map.
The individual responsible for preparing the plans shall provide their signature.
Provide a project directory that includes the names and contact information of the property owner, tenant, and all design professionals involved in the project (architectural, structural, civil, geotechnical, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing).
Provide a note indicating that this project shall comply with the 2022 California Building Code (CBC) and the City of Santa Ana Municipal Code.
List all deferred submittals on the plans. If there are none, clearly indicate “No deferred submittals.”
Provide the following building data as required by the 2022 California Building Code: occupancy group, type of construction, number of stories, height, floor area, and whether the building is equipped with a fire sprinkler system.
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."
Sheet 2
Provide a floor plan showing location of and differentiating all types of racks; show aisle widths and exit scheme.
Show configurations of racks: permissible configurations, max number of shelves, max distance between shelves, and max distance from floor to bottom shelf.
Protect lower portions of posts (especially front posts facing aisles) from forklift damage; recommend strengthening methods such as welding, heavier bracing, or larger base plates & anchors.
Note on plans that racks shall be installed plumb; max tolerance ±0.5″ per 10 ft of rack height.
Calculations Requirements
Design, testing, and utilization of racks shall conform to Rack Manufacturers Institute (RMI) specifications.
