| | 1ST REVIEW |
| | DATE: TUES. DEC. 17/ 2019 |
| | ACTION: DENIED |
| | |
| | 1) THE LIFE SAFETY SHEET: |
| | 1A) THE LIFE SAFETY NOTES INDICATE THIS OCCUPANCY IS TO |
| | BE CONSIDERED MERCANTILE BUT IN THE OCCUPANCY TYPE AND |
| | CALCS THERE 4 OCCUPANCY TYPES INDICATED, ASSEMBLY, |
| | MERCANTILE, BUSINESS & STORAGE. THIS TENANT SPACE IT |
| | WOULD APPEAR TO BE A MIXED USE OCCUPANCY. I BELIEVE THE |
| | AREA THAT IS LISTED AS AN ASSEMBLY OCCUPANCY IS |
| | MISLABELED, THE DESIGNER OF RECORD HAS NOT IDENTIFIED |
| | WHAT TYPE OF ASSEMBLY OCCUPANCY THIS AREA IS, A-1, A-2, |
| | A-3 AN ASSEMBLY OCCUPANCY DOES NOT FIT THE USE IN ANY |
| | OF THESE ASSEMBLY TYPES. IT APPEARS THAT THE RECEPTION |
| | AREA IS MORE OF A CROWD CONTROL AREA JUST AS IN SOME |
| | CHECK CASHING BUSINESSES, THIS AREA LENDS ITSELF TO |
| | MORE OF A BUSINESS OCCUPANCY OR POSSIBLY MERCANTILE. |
| | PLEASE REVIEW SECTIONS 303.2, 303.3 & 303.4 FOR WHAT |
| | USES FALL UNDER AN ASSEMBLY OCCUPANCY AND WHAT SERVICES |
| | FALL UNDER BUSINESS OCCUPANCIES FOUND UNDER SECTION |
| | 304.1 OF THE 2017 FBC-B. THE OCCUPANT LOAD WILL CHANGE, |
| | PLEASE UPDATE THE PLANS. |
| | |
| | 1B) DISCREPANCY IN THE PLANS. IT WOULD APPEAR THAT THE |
| | ENTRANCE AND EXIT OF THE CONTROLLED AREA ARE REVERSED. |
| | SHEET LS100AND A101 BOTH SHOW THE EXIT AS THE RIGHT |
| | OUTSWING DOOR 103A WHEREAS SHEET A105 SHOWS THE EXIT |
| | DOOR TO THE LEFT, PLEASE REVIEW ALL PLAN SHEETS TO |
| | VERIFY THE ENTRANCE AND EXIT LOCATIONS ARE SHOWN IN THE |
| | CORRECT LOCATION. 107.2.1.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION IS |
| | REQUIRED. |
| | |
| | 1C) UNDER THE LIFE SAFETY NOTES THERE IS A STATEMENT |
| | THAT ALL INTERIOR FINISHES TO COMPLY WITH THE FFPC 101 |
| | 6TH EDITION 10.2.2 AND CHAPTER 10 FOR MERCANTILE |
| | OCCUPANCY. PLEASE NOTE UNDER THE 2017 FBC-B 6TH EDITION |
| | TABLE803.11 PROVIDES THE REQUIREMENTS BY OCCUPANCY |
| | PLEASE LIST THE FLAME SPREAD AND SMOKE DEVELOPMENT BY |
| | CLASS FOR EITHER A SPRINKLERED OR NON-SPRINKLERED |
| | BUILDING. |
| | |
| | 2) SHEET A101 SHOWS VARIOUS DETAIL MARKERS FOR SHEET |
| | A300 AND A301 BUT THE DRAWING INDEX DOES NOT SHOW THESE |
| | SHEETS EXIST, NOR DOES THE PLANS SHOW THESE VARIOUS |
| | ELEVATION VIEWS. CODE COMPLIANCE CANNOT BE ACHIEVED |
| | WITHOUT THESE DETAILS. 107.2.1.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION |
| | IS REQUIRED. |
| | |
| | 3) SHEET A501, A502 & A503 ALL SHOW VARIOUS COUNTERS |
| | WITH THE COUNTER TOP AT A HEIGHT OF 36 INCHES ABOVE THE |
| | FINISH FLOOR. PLEASE REVIEW THE 2017 FBC-ACCESSIBILITY |

| | |
| | 4) SHEET A101 IN THE BREAK ROOM AREA LABELED ROOM 106 |
| | THE PLANS SHOW A DETAIL MARKER 1/ A301. THIS SHEET DOES |
| | NOT EXIST, PLEASE SHOW COMPLIANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS |
| | OF THE 2017 FBC-ACCESSIBILITY CODE SECTIONS SEE BELOW. |

| | |
| | 7) A TRANSMITTAL LETTER LISTING THE ORIGINAL REVIEW |
| | COMMENT NUMBER, WITH A DESCRIPTION OF THE REVISION |
| | MADE, IDENTIFYING THE SHEET OR SPECIFICATION PAGE WHERE |
| | THE CHANGES CAN BE FOUND WILL HELP TO EXPEDITE YOUR |
| | PERMIT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ANTICIPATED COOPERATION. |
| | |
| | A THOROUGH REVIEW OF THE PLANS COULD NOT HAPPEN SINCE |
| | THERE WAS A GREAT DEFICIENCY IN PLANS AND REQUIRED |
| | DOCUMENTATION. WITH THE NEXT PLAN REVIEW CYCLE THERE |
| | MAYBE ADDITIONAL REVIEW COMMENTS BECAUSE OF NEW PLANS |
| | AND INFORMATION LACKING UNDER THE PRIOR REVIEW. |
