Architectural
1. Please revise the sheet index or plan set configuration to ensure it includes all sheets in the plan set and that the titles and numbering match the corresponding sheet labels. Sheet P6.0 is listed in the Sheet Index but does not appear to be in the submitted plan set. Provide a complete and consistent index for the entire set. Per IBC Section 107.2.1.
2. Please expand on the deferred permit description to add “plans & Structural Calculations to the end of Pre-engineered Metal Building Construction” IBC 107.2.1.
3. Please revise plans to indicate Hazardous Materials Inventory Statement (HMIS) for this project in accordance with International Building Code (IBC) Section 414.1.5 and International Fire Code (IFC) Section 5001.5, and shall include the following:
A. Storage and use locations, including identification on the floor plan
B. Identification of any spill control measures, secondary containment, explosion control, or other safeguards required as a result of the hazardous materials inventory.
C. Please clearly demonstrate compliance with applicable MAQs per control area and identify any required hazardous occupancy classification(s) or fire protection features triggered by the quantities provided.
4. Please indicate whether the storage rack system will be submitted as a deferred submittal. If so, clearly identify the rack system as a deferred submittal on the construction documents in accordance with the applicable code requirements. Otherwise, provide complete plans, calculations, and supporting documentation for the storage rack system as part of this permit review.
5. Please provide the applicable ICC-ES Evaluation Service Report (ESR) number(s), or equivalent documentation from an approved evaluation agency, for the proposed Exterior 6. Insulation and Finish System (EIFS) and manufactured thin stone veneer. The submitted documentation shall demonstrate code compliance, identify approved installation methods, and verify that the products are suitable for the intended application. IBC Section 107.2.1.
7. Please revise the plans to clearly identify and specify the code basis and purpose for the 3-hour fire-resistance-rated partition/fire barrier shown on the drawings/code analysis. Indicate the applicable code section(s) requiring the 3-hour rating and describe the condition or occupancy separation being provided. This information shall be clearly noted on the plans to demonstrate compliance with the 2024 IBC and to facilitate plan review. IBC 107.2.1
8. Please revise the plans to demonstrate that all joints and voids occurring at the intersections of fire-resistance-rated assemblies are protected with approved firestopping systems. Provide construction details identifying the specific UL-listed (or other approved equivalent) firestop systems to be used at these locations, including the applicable system design numbers and installation requirements. Details shall clearly indicate the firestopping materials and assemblies used to maintain the required fire-resistance rating of the wall, floor, ceiling, and roof assemblies. Examples include, but are not limited to, firestop sealants, and joint systems. IBC Sections 707.8 and 707.9.
Accessibility
9. Sheet A4.0 & A4.1 Detail 2: Men’s accessible stall does not appear to be large enough for 67” circular turning space. 2017 ICC A117.1 304.3.1.1 Please revise drawings.
Structural Calculations – Page 49, SK-1 Foundation Key Plan
10. The Foundation Key Plan on Page 49 (Sheet SK-1) of the structural calculations does not appear to be consistent with the foundation plan shown on Sheet S1.0 of the construction drawings. For example, at grid intersections 1A and 1.4A, the construction drawings indicate Footings F-4 and F-5, respectively; however, the Foundation Key Plan in the structural calculations only identifies a footing at location 1A.
11. Please review and revise the structural calculations and/or construction drawings as necessary to ensure that all foundation locations, footing types, and related information are consistent throughout the entire permit submittal package. Consistency between the calculations and the construction documents is required for plan review and inspection purposes.
Structural Calculations – Pages 52–53, Footing Detail Report (FT2)
12. The footing dimensions shown in the FT2 Detail Report on Pages 52–53 of the structural calculations do not appear to match the Foundation Schedule on the construction drawings. Specifically, the FT2 Detail Report indicates a footing size of 5'-6" x 5'-6" x 24" deep, while the Foundation Schedule on the construction drawings identifies the corresponding footing as 7'-6" x 7'-6" x 2'-8" deep. A similar discrepancy appears to exist for FT1.
13. Please provide footing detail reports and supporting calculations for Footings F-1 through F-5 and revise the structural calculations and/or construction drawings as necessary to ensure that footing sizes, depths, reinforcement, and designations are consistent throughout the entire permit submittal package. The Foundation Schedule on the construction drawings shall match the footing details and supporting calculations.
Special Inspections
14. Please provide a list of all required special inspections on the cover sheet of the construction documents. Identifying the required special inspections on the cover sheet increases awareness among all project stakeholders and helps facilitate compliance with the special inspection requirements of the building code. Please ensure the list is consistent with the Statement of Special Inspections and all applicable requirements of the adopted code. (IBC Section 1704)
15. Please note the 2024 IBC requires special inspection of Pre-Engineered Metal Building erection. IBC 1705.2.6
16. Please provide a project specific statement of special inspections for this project, stating requirements for the special inspections and required tests. IBC 107.2.1, IBC 1704, IBC 1705 For example, Pre-Engineered Metal Building erection, EIFS, Thin Stone, if required by ESR
Additionally, provide the City of Tucson Special Inspection Certificate(s) with Parts A and B completed with the next submittal, or before permit issuance. IBC 107.1 SI form link:

06/25/2026 Commercial Mechanical Standard REQUIRES RESUBMIT 1. Provide justification for installing RTU-1 which has a cooling capacity that exceeds the cooling load shown in the submitted calculations. Reference: Section C403.3.1, IECC 2018.
2. Sheet P2.0 calls for water supply for a roof-mounted evaporative cooler located near column C3. This unit doesn’t appear on the mechanical plans. Coordinate the plans. Reference: Section 107.2.1, IBC 2024.
3. Show that the HVLS fan is being installed in accordance with the conditions of its listing and the manufacturer’s installation requirements with regard to its proximity to the supply air drop box for RTU-2. Reference: Section 304.1, IMC 2024.

5. Revise the sequence of operation for the restroom exhaust fan so that all of the air supplied to the restrooms will be exhausted (i.e. all of the air supplied to each restroom is to be exhausted during the hours of operation even if the lights are off). Reference: Footnote g, Table 403.3.1.1, IMC 2024.
6. The sequence of operation for exhaust fans EF-5 and EF-6 provides for full exhaust airflow when activated by the CO and NO2 sensors as described in Section 404.1, IMC 2024. The sequence of operation, however, omits the required standby operation of 0.05 CFM per square foot of the floor area served. In addition, Note 7 of the exhaust fan schedule allows for a hand on/off/auto switch tied to a time clock. At what times will there be no vehicles parked in the shop area?
