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 submittal date unless a written extension request is submitted and approved. The request must demonstrate justifiable cause. 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.
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.
The Plan Submittal Criteria item #5 should be marked “Yes”. This project involves education for children and is classified as Group E occupancy. Therefore, plans are required to be submitted to OCFA for review immediately.
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.

Applicant shall pay the school fee and bring the signed Certificate of Compliance form to the Building Division counters for permit issuance.

The original plans and calculations are available for pickup at the building division counters on a walk-in basis. No appointment is necessary. Please check the holiday closure schedule before planning your visit.
Plan Check Corrections
Address all items noted on this plan check report, either directly on this list or in a separate document.
Address each correction thoroughly and provide a complete response. Do not leave any blanks. Indicate the sheet number, detail number, or note number where you make each correction. If a plan check correction does not apply to your project, provide an explanation in your response.
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.PLAN REVIEW COMMENTSSheet A-0.0Provide 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.
The project address ZIP code is incorrect. It should be revised to 92701. Update the complete address to: 826 North Broadway, Santa Ana, California 92701.Revise the address under the Project Data section and on the title block of every sheet to reflect the corrected address.
The scope of work states one classroom is being added for a total of seven. However, the demolition plan labels Classrooms 5, 6, and 7, which suggests there were already seven classrooms. This appears incorrect since the proposed floor plan also shows seven classrooms.Please clarify the existing number of classrooms and revise the demolition plan accordingly.
Add the following note under the Deferred Submittal section:
“Fire sprinkler drawings shall be submitted and approved by the Orange County Fire Authority (OCFA) prior to the final of the building permit.”
The most current Certificate of Occupancy (No. 80420379) classifies the building as Occupancy Groups B and E, Construction Type VB, and sprinklered. The scope of work does not involve a change in occupancy group, so the occupancy classification shall remain the same. Revise the occupancy groups under the Project Data section to reflect this.
Graphically show a minimum 48-inch clear width for walks along the exterior accessible route on the site plan.
Provide an accessible route from an accessible parking space to the primary entrance of this tenant space.
Sheet A-0.05 & A-0.06
The font size for the notes is too small. Increase the font size to ensure readability.
Sheet A-2.0
Provide a minimum clear width of 72 inches measured finish-to-finish along the corridor in Group E occupancy serving more than 99 occupants (Table 1020.3). This finish-to-finish specification is critical to ensure compliance, as measuring to unfinished surfaces often results in the final constructed width being insufficient.
For the new non-bearing partition wall, provide a cross-reference to the applicable wall construction details on sheet A12.
Clearly label the exterior exit doors on the plans. It appears that the existing exterior doors are Door 125 at the lobby and Door 116 at the back of the building.
Show the travel distances from the most remote point in Classrooms 1, 2, and 3 to the exterior exit door.The maximum allowed travel distance is 250 feet per Table 1017.2. Provide the actual distances on the plans to confirm compliance with this requirement.
General Notes 1, 2, and 3 reference different signs including the tactile sign for occupant load, tactile exit sign, and accessible entrance sign. Identify the exact locations of these signs on the floor plan.
The floor plan does not show the reception desk, but the furniture plan does. Specify the clearance between the edge of the wall and the reception desk.Sheet A-10.0On the door schedule, hardware sets are referenced by numbers, but their descriptions are not provided. Clarify the hardware types and mounting heights for the new doors to ensure they meet egress and accessibility requirements.End of Comments
