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.
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
highli2hted changes 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 2nd Floor of City Hall.
Permit Center hours are M, T, Th, & F from 8am-4:30pm and from 8:30am-12pm on Wednesdays.
On sheet A I - Project Scope, Description, and Detail:
1. Detail 2 — New -Construction Plan
a. Clarify on the plans the represented location of the 'trash receptacle' adjacent to the
entry door to each of the restrooms. It does not appear to meet/maintain the required
maneuvering clearance per ICC A 117.1-2009 Section 404.2.3. They may be 'flush -
mounted' into the walls at the proposed locations.
b. Clarify the represented placement of the toilet compartment door in each of the
restrooms. It does not appear to provide the required maneuvering clearance from
the 'push -side, hinge -approach' of the door with a closer and a latch per ICC
Al 17.1-2009 Section 404.2.3. Since it is apparent that the door cannot be easily re-
oriented to accommodate a 'push -side, latch -approach' without affecting access to
the toilet compartment, consideration may need to be given to eliminate the toilet
compartment partitions, determine the restrooms to be 'single -occupant' facilities,
and to provide privacy hardware on the primary doors to the restrooms.
2. Detail 3 — Men's Toilet — South El — Remove and relocate to the 'Women's Toilet — South
El' the represented 'SND' — Sanitary Napkin Disposal.
