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.
As of January 1, 2026, the City of Santa Ana enforces the 2025 California Building Standards Codes. Previous code editions, including the 2022 codes, are no longer applicable.
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.

PLAN REVIEW COMMENTS
Sheet #2
Provide a sheet index.
Confirm the scope of work is to install 18 storage racks (20–26 feet tall), including 8 mobile racks, and clearly state this on the plan; revise the plans if this is not accurate.
Provide a vicinity map.
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 2025 California Building Code (CBC).
List all deferred submittals on the plans. If there are none, clearly indicate “No deferred submittals.”
Refer to Building Permit No. 101124494 and provide the required building data per the 2025 California Building Code, including occupancy group, type of construction, number of stories, building height, floor area, and whether the building is equipped with an automatic fire sprinkler system.
Note on the plans that the building will be used for high-pile storage and submit plans to OCFA for review and approval.
Provide a note on plans stating that storage racks shall be installed plumb. The maximum tolerance from the vertical is 0.5 inches in 10 feet of rack height. (RMI 1.4.11.1)
Provide a note on the plans stating that the design, testing, and utilization of storage racks shall conform to Rack Manufacturers Institute (RMI) specifications.
Provide material specifications for concrete.
Note on the plans that a minimum clear space of 18 inches shall be maintained between the top of storage and sprinkler deflectors.
Sheet #3
Identify the different storage rack types, and label each rack type on the floor plan.
Demonstrate that the installation of storage racks does not compromise the required means of egress. Show the locations of all exit signage and exit doors, and draw and label the maximum travel distance from the most remote point of the space to an exit door.
Identify on the floor plan the location(s) of the permanent load plaque(s), and provide permanent load plaque(s) with a minimum area of 50 square inches in one or more conspicuous locations at the storage rack installation. (RMI 1.4.2)
Confirm whether structural field welding is proposed. If provided, list structural field welding under the Special Inspection requirements and specify either periodic or continuous inspection.
List post-installed anchor bolts under the Special Inspection requirements and specify either periodic or continuous inspection.
Structural Calculations
Revise the calculations to update the seismic design reference for storage racks to ASCE 7-22 Section 15.5.3 or the latest applicable RMI provisions Section 2.6.
Storage racks shall be designed for the most critical load combinations in accordance with ASCE 7-22 or modified RMI for wind loads.
Storage racks with multiple configurations shall be designed for each individual configuration. (RMI 1.4.5)
Overturning moment shall be calculated assuming only the top level of the storage rack is loaded and subject to seismic forces. The seismic load shall act through the center of gravity of the top-level load. (RMI 2.6.9)
Storage racks with a height-to-depth ratio exceeding 6:1 shall be designed to resist a 350-pound lateral force applied at the top shelf level to an empty single frame, acting perpendicular to the aisle. Anchors and base plates shall be designed to resist uplift forces resulting from this load case. (RMI 8.1)
Single rows of storage racks exceeding a height-to-depth ratio of 8:1 shall be externally tied to the building structure (not solely by foundation anchorage) or cross-aisle braced to another rack. (RMI 8.1)
Load support beams, supporting arms (if any), and beam or arm end connections to columns shall be designed for an additional vertical impact load equal to 25 percent of one unit (pallet) load, placed at the most unfavorable position for determining beam shear and moment. (RMI 2.3)
At working load (excluding the 25 percent impact allowance), deflection of pallet rack beams shall not exceed L/180 of the beam span, measured relative to the beam ends. (RMI 5.3)
All beam-to-post and frame-bracing-to-post connections shall be designed to support the combined vertical dead load, live load, and product load reactions, and a horizontal load equal to the greater of 1.5 percent of the dead load plus product load or the earthquake load. (RMI 2.4.1)
Except for movable-shelf racks, beams subject to machine loading shall be provided with connection locking devices or bolts capable of resisting an upward force of 1,000 pounds per connection without failure or disengagement. (RMI 5.4.2)
Provide calculations demonstrating how perforations in rack compression members are accounted for in design. Use section properties based on the minimum net area where perforations are considered. (RMI 4.1.3.1)
Where storage racks are supported by a slab on grade, a maximum allowable soil bearing value of 500 psf shall be used unless a soils report recommends a higher allowable value for slab-on-grade support.
Provide allowable load and deflection calculations. Where calculations are not feasible due to member geometry or proprietary components, provide test data per RMI Section 9.
Sheet #4
Show the storage rack configurations, including permissible configurations, maximum number of shelves, maximum spacing between shelves, and maximum distance from the floor to the bottom shelf. (RMI 1.4.5)
Provide protection for the lower portions of rack posts exposed to forklift or equipment traffic, particularly front posts facing aisles. Show details demonstrating post strengthening, such as welded twin columns, angle deflectors at aisle-side posts, heavier horizontal or diagonal bracing, and/or enlarged base plates and anchors. (RMI 1.4.9)
