Include the following items:Change of use from warehouse to cannabis cultivation, distribution, and non-volatile manufacturing.Change of occupancy from Group B and S-1 to Groups B, S-1, and F-1.Tenant improvement of ___ square feet.Addition of ___ square feet on the second floor.The previously expired building permit No. 101101868 shows 13,160 square feet of tenant improvement. Verify and confirm the tenant improvement area under this permit. The previous plans show a 4,873 square foot addition, while the current plans show 4,666 square feet. Provide before-and-after plans to reconcile these areas.
Revise the project address to include the directional prefix “S.” Verify the exact address with the Planning Division. Update the address on the title sheet, every title block, and throughout all construction documents to ensure consistency.

Revise the building data to identify the building as 2 stories.Revise the allowable building height under Building Height in accordance with CBC Table 504.3.Remove the expired plan check numbers 10198338 and SR277346 from the plans.Revise the allowable area calculations. Buildings “5” and “6” appear to be physically one building with a combined area of 16,697 square feet (8,299 + 8,398). Verify whether a fire wall per CBC definition separates the two buildings or whether Building 6 has the same occupancy. Provide a revised allowable area analysis in accordance with CBC Section 508.3, and clearly demonstrate that the allowable area exceeds the actual building area.Verify and confirm the square footage shown under the Building Data section.
