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 highlighted 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.
General:
1. 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. Please indicate on the plans where the water shut off(s) and electrical panel(s) will
be located for the primary residence and ADU.
2. The notes on the proposed plans appear to indicate that an electric dryer is to be installed for the ADU.
The permit application indicates a gas line is to be installed for both dryers. Combustion air will be
required to be provided to a fuel burring appliance. Please clarify and indicate on the plans.
3. The proposed ADU will require a whole house mechanical “whole house” ventilation in accordance with
M1507.3.1 of the 2015 International Residential Code. Please indicate how the requirement will be
achieved on the plans.
