Please provide a furniture plan and description of the proposed Photography Studio. [IBC 107.2}

Please amend Code/Project data to indicate this is a two-story structure, as the mezzanine is enclosed and is now considered a story as it does not meet the openness requirement. [IBC 503.1 & 505.2.3]

Please amend plans to add another exit as spaces with only one exit are limited to a maximum common path of travel distance of 100 feet when equipped with a sprinkler system. [IBC Table 1006.2.1]

Further to comment #3 above a second exit is required when common path of travel exceeds the maximum common path of travel distance. [IBC 1006.3.3]

Amend plans to expand the current design occupant load analysis to specify the individual building area of each room or space that is shown on plan. Further, clarify the design occupant load used for each room or space on the plan, in accordance with the requirements of [IBC Table 1004.5.]

Please provide a complete Means of Egress plan and exiting analysis. Identify and dimension the path of exit travel on the plans and indicate the common path of travel distance and maximum travel distance, including the path of the exit discharge to the public way Note: Travel distance and common path of egress travel share the same starting point. [IBC 107.2.3]

Please add a note on plan to clarify if fire sprinkler modifications are necessary as a part of the proposed scope of work. If so, further indicate with a note on plan that fire sprinklers will be a separate submittal. [IBC 107.2]

Keep in mind that if a second exit is added to this project to reduce the travel distance to a maximum of 100 feet, IBC Section 1007 would require the exit doors to be separated by one third the building’s diagonal measurement in a sprinkled building.

Please amend plans to provide a section drawing through the new work above the existing mezzanine showing the wall construction and the connections to the floor and structure above. [IBC 107.2.1]

Please amend plan to provide the ceiling heights for the spaces and areas on the 2nd story area. [IBC107.2]

If this exemption is taken, accessibility upgrades equaling 20% of the cost of the project shall be made.

Please provide the proposed floor live and dead loads as required, to be added to the existing mezzanine with this alteration and provide an engineering evaluation sealed by an Arizona licensed registrant indicating the structural modifications that need to be made to this structure to meet the requirements of IBC Section 1601.

Storage buildings with no utilities may be wet floodproofed using flood vents. For all new construction buildings, two elevation certificates must be filled out by a registered land surveyor and submitted to the City, one before the foundation is poured and one after construction is completed.
