Dear Applicant:
I have reviewed the above building permit applicationfor the Planning Division,and it was found that the following
information, corrections, or clarifications will need to be addressedbefore review can continue:
Portables:
1.ECDC 17.100.050.L indicates that portable classrooms are allowed where the applicant
demonstrates by substantial evidence that additional space is necessary to accomplish the educational mission
or objectives of the school in accordance with applicable state and federal statutes, regulations and guidelines.
Please submit sufficientevidence demonstrating the need for the proposed portable classroombuildings, such
as the design capacity for the school and the current student population or other relevant information that
speaks to the need for the proposed portable classroom buildings.
Height Calculations:
2.The maximum allowed height within the RS-8 zone is 25 feet above average original
grade. In order to confirm compliance with height requirements, please provide height calculations on the
site planfor each portable classroom building. In providing height calculations, please be sure to address the
following:
a.Indicate the datum point utilized for the height calculations on the site plan. When indicating the datum
point, please provide a description of what was utilized as the datum point (i.e. manhole cover, top of fire
hydrant, etc.) and provide its elevation.
b.Indicate the elevations of the four corners of the height rectangle, which is the smallest rectangle that
encompasses the entire structure (excluding up to 30 inches of eaves).Separate height rectangles and
separate height calculations must be conducted for each building.
c.Provide height calculations on the site plan indicating the elevations of the average original grade,
maximum allowed height, and proposed height.
d.On the building elevation views, please indicate the elevations of the average original grade, maximum
allowed height, and proposed height.
e.Refer to Handout#B41 (enclosed) for additional guidance on conducting the height calculations.
Setbacks:
3.It appears that the proposed portable classroom buildingswill easily comply with the minimum
required 25-foot setbacks from all property lines; however, please indicate compliance on the site plan.
Please submita cover letter addressing how each of the above items have been addressed as well asthree copies of
your revised site plan and two copies of any revised building plan sheets to a Development Services Permit
Coordinator. Our office hours are Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays between 8:00am and 4:30pm, and
Wednesdays between 8:00am and noon.
