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.

PLAN REVIEW COMMENTS
Sheet A1.0
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.
First Plan Check Comment:
The submitted plan set is incomplete. The sheet Index lists sheets A2.0, F1.0, F2.0, and F2.1, which are not provided.Submit the missing sheets or revise the sheet index accordingly.
Second Plan Check Comment:
The Sheet Index remains inaccurate and inconsistent with the submitted drawings. Expedited review has been requested. Repeated Sheet Index errors demonstrate lack of coordination. Perform QA/QC and correct all inconsistencies prior to resubmittal.
Sheets F1.0, F2.0, and D1.1 are listed but not included in the plan set.
Sheet A1.2 is incorrectly sequenced in the Sheet Index.
Under the Scope of Work, clearly identify the installation of the spray booth.
The vicinity map provided does not reflect a location within the City of Santa Ana. Revise the vicinity map to correctly identify the project site.
Provide the engineer’s stamp and signature on all structural sheets.
First Plan Check Comment:
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).
Second Plan Check Comment:
Under the project directory section, provide the plan preparer’s name and the engineer-of- record’s contact information.
Under Applicable Codes, reference the 2025 Code Edition rather than the 2022 Edition. Verify and update all related references throughout the plans accordingly.
First Plan Check Comment:
List all deferred submittals on the plans. If there are none, clearly indicate “No deferred submittals.”
Second Plan Check Comment:
Fire suppression system is listed as a deferred submittal. Add a note stating that the fire suppression system shall be submitted to, reviewed, and approved by the Orange County Fire Authority (OCFA) prior to final building permit approval.
Include the following note on the plan: 'All Notice of Violation items must be fully addressed. Partial compliance will not be accepted. All unpermitted work must be brought into full compliance.'
The proposed Type III-N construction is not substantiated. Type III-N is obsolete; current classifications are Type III-A or III-B. It is unclear whether the existing exterior walls meet the required fire-resistance rating, and City records indicate prior Type V-B construction. Conduct the necessary code research and provide a written justification identifying the applicable construction type with supporting analysis/documentation per CBC Table 601. Revise the plans as necessary.
Sheet A1.2 (Spray Booth)
Clarify whether the spray booth is factory-built/listed or site-built.
Provide manufacturer’s cut sheets, listing information, and installation instructions for the spray booth and all associated equipment.
Provide detailed plans showing spray booth construction, including wall, ceiling, and floor materials.
Provide booth dimensions, working clearances, and access for maintenance and cleaning.
Show exhaust duct materials, routing, and construction.
First Plan Check Comment:
Demonstrate that exhaust discharge locations comply with required clearances from openings, property lines, and air intakes.

On the roof plan, show a minimum 10-foot separation from the spray booth exhaust discharge to skylights and any outdoor air intakes.
Provide details showing structural support, anchorage, and seismic restraint of the spray booth.
Demonstrate floor loading capacity and anchorage compliance.
First Plan Check Comment:
The structural calculations are not project-specific and were prepared for a different jurisdiction. This submittal is not acceptable. Provide new structural calculations prepared for this project and location prior to further review.
Second Plan Check Comment:
Structural calculations have been submitted; however, significant discrepancies remain between the calculations and the approved plans. This resubmittal is not acceptable.The anchor design in the structural calculations does not match the anchor design shown on the plans.The anchor model types are inconsistent between the calculations and the drawings.The total number of anchor bolts is not identified on the plans.The referenced ESR numbers are inconsistent.Update the seismic design code reference to ASCE 7-22 (not the 2016 edition).Demonstrate that anchor bolt shear capacity exceeds the calculated sliding force.Provide structural calculations demonstrating resistance to overturning moments for the spray booth.
These discrepancies demonstrate a lack of coordination between the drawings and structural calculations. The Engineer of Record is responsible for ensuring that all structural drawings and calculations are project-specific, internally consistent, and coordinated. Revise the plans and calculations accordingly. All anchor information, including model, quantity, location, ESR references, and design forces, shall match across all documents prior to further review.
