During a review of the plans by the Building Division for the above noted project, it was found that
the following information, clarifications, or changes are needed. A complete review cannot be
performed until the revised plans/documents, including a written response indicating where the
clouded or otherwise highlighted changes can be found on the revised plans, have been submitted
to a Permit Coordinator. Reviews by other divisions, such as Planning, Engineering, or Fire, may
result in additional comments.

Sheet 7
6.It appears from the plans and the engineers calculations that the exitinst CMU foundation
will be resisting lateral load resulting from the addition. In our local seismic zone, CMU
walls are required to have a minimum of #3 vertical bars @ 48 o.c. in fully grouted cells.
Additionly the aforementioned vertical steel is required to be tied in to the footing rebar.
The drawings specify that only those cells housing anchor bolts or holdowns will be fully
grouted. Please verify that those CMU walls experiencing additional lateral load are in
conformance.
