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, new plan submittals shall comply with the 2025 California Building Standards Codes. Submittals prior to this date shall comply with the 2022 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 approvals from the following agencies, as applicable, prior to permit issuance:
Planning Division – Provide Planning approval stamp on the plans. After Building approval, plans will be routed to Planning by Building staff.
Police Department (PD) – Provide PD approval stamp on the plans. After Building approval, plans will be routed to PD by Building staff.
Public Works Agency (PWA) – Obtain PWA clearance when applicable. After Building approval, obtain Building-approved plans and submit to PWA. Return PWA-approved plans to Building prior to permit issuance.
Orange County Fire Authority (OCFA) – Submit plans directly to OCFA when required. Provide OCFA approval prior to permit issuance.
County of Orange Health Care Agency (OC Health) – Submit plans directly to OC Health when food service is proposed. Provide OC Health approval prior to permit issuance.

PLAN REVIEW COMMENTS
Provide clouding and delta symbols for all revisions from the previously approved plans throughout the entire plan set.
Path of Travel
The previously approved plans provided a compliant path of travel. The revised design routes the accessible path from accessible parking around the building to a side door and no longer provides a compliant route to the primary building entrance (lobby). This change reduces accessibility and is not permitted. (CBC 11B-202.4)
Path of travel shall connect accessible parking to an accessible building entrance and shall coincide with the general circulation path used by the public. The proposed route creates a detour that does not follow the primary circulation path to the lobby and does not provide equivalent access. (CBC 11B-206.2.1, 11B-206.4)
Walking surfaces exceeding 5 percent slope shall comply with ramp requirements. Slopes exceeding 1:12 are not permitted for accessible ramps. Provide a code-compliant path of travel. (CBC 11B-403.3, 11B-405.2)
Egress Door Requirements (Response to Email Dated 03/30/26)
The request to reconstruct only one accessible entrance and allow the remaining doors to remain as constructed is not permitted. All three doors are part of the alteration and are required to comply with current code. Doors serving the means of egress shall be provided with compliant landings, including required dimensions and maximum slope. No exception is provided for secondary or non-accessible entrances. Revise the work to match the approved plans and provide compliant landings at all altered doors. (CBC 1010.1.5, 1010.1.6)
Egress / Accessibility – Change in Elevation (Tustin Avenue Side)
The revised plans show the exterior walking surface facing Tustin Avenue at a slope of 12.5 percent. This exceeds the maximum slope permitted for both accessible ramps and egress ramps (1:12 maximum) and is not considered a ramp under either code.
Provide a compliant means to address the change in elevation. Where an accessible route is not required at this location, provide a compliant stairway connecting the top and bottom landings. Where an accessible route is required, provide a compliant ramp.
Provide complete stair or ramp details, including all applicable requirements. Locate the bottom landing within the property line and not within the public sidewalk. (CBC 1003.5, 1011.2, 11B-405.2)
