A preliminary review was done with the conditional use materials provided and we have the following
comments.
1.A building permit will be required for the modifications to the existing structure. This permit will
also include the change of status of the space to an accessory dwelling unit.
2.The International Residential Code definition of Dwelling Unit as amended by the state of
Washington requires that all required smoke alarms in the accessory dwelling unit and the
primary dwelling unit are interconnected in such a manner that the actuation of one alarm will
activate all alarms in both the primary dwelling unit and the accessory dwelling unit. This is in
lieu of the fire separation requirements between the units (fire-rated floors, walls and doors). If
the option for fire-rated separation is proposed, the construction drawings will need to include
the approved listing and details for the wall assembly (and floor-ceiling assembly.)
3.All other applicable requirements of the building code will be verified under the building permit
review and inspections. See City handout P1 for a representative list of requirements.
Thank you.
