Please be advised that the building plans for the above referenced project have been disapproved
for the purposes of obtaining a building permit. During a review of the plans by the Building
Division for compliance with the applicable building codes, it was found that the following
information, clarifications, or changes are needed. Reviews by other divisions, such as Planning,
Engineering, or Fire, may result in additional comments that require attention beyond the scope of
this letter. Items that recur on this list appear in italics.
A complete review cannot be performed until the revised plans/documents, including a
written response in itemized letter format indicating where the 'clouded' or otherwise
hi2hli2hted chan2es can be found on the revised plans, have been submitted to a Permit
Coordinator.
Resubmittals must be made at the Development Services Department on the 2 d Floor of City Hall.
Permit Center hours are M, T, Th, & F from 8am-4:30pm and from 8:30am-12pm on Wednesdays.
This building plan review cannot be completed until we receive the following items:
General:
1. Due to the nature of the foundation construction type proposed. Special Inspections will
be required. Please fill out and submit the attached special inspection testing agreements
prior to permit issuance.
2. The permit application indicates an Accessory Dwelling Unit will be constructed. The
plans do not indicate where this ADU will be located. Please indicate on the plans.
3. The primary residence and the proposed ADU must act as independent dwellings. Please
indicate on the plans where the electrical panel, water shut off, and heating appliances
will be located for each dwelling. These locations must be readily accessible to the
dwelling they service without having to access through the adjacent dwelling.
Furthermore, the whole house fan indicated on page 3 cannot act as the means of
mechanical ventilation for both dwellings. Please indicate on the plans where these
independent fans will be located.
4. It appears that a "Conditional use permit" has not been filed with the city for the
proposed ADU. Please submit for all applicable permits with the city regarding the
proposed ADU.
Sheet 2:
5. The heating appliances indicated in the proposed mechanical room need to be label with
the minimum efficiency ratings that correspond with the "energy credits" selected.
6. Detail Hl/Sl is indicated for the guest great room window. Page Sl was not included in
the submittal. Please include page S I for review.
7. It appears that SI-6 shear walls are proposed. A shear wall schedule has not been
included on the plans. Please add to the plans.

8. Detail Gl/Sl is indicated for the front garage walls. Page Sl was not included in the
submittal. Please include page S 1 for review.

Please include on the plans the details on how this ledger will be attached. Type,
quantity and spacing of anchors is necessary.
Sheet 8:
10. It appears there are details that have been designed by the engineer of record. These
details must be stamped as so. Please have the engineer of record stamps all sheets that
have been designed by them.
