General/Suspended Ceiling: This location appears to be within a Seismic Design Category ‘C’ (SDC C) area, which requires special consideration for the suspended ceiling system. (2018 IBC Sec. 808.1.1.1 & ASCE 7-2016 Sec. 13.5.6) Please revise to include the following: i. Please revise to specify a suspended ceiling system listed for a higher seismic design location. Indicate the manufacturer and product name and/or number. This information will be used to verify the specified product's listing, which must comply for installation within a Seismic Design Category ‘C’ (SDC C) area. ii. Provide typical details for the installation of the proposed suspended ceiling system framing and connections of ceiling framing runners. This information is typically provided within the product International Code Council Evaluation Services Report (ICC ESR) which is the product listing and directly from the manufacturer of the specified product. 2. Sheet A1.0/Separated Occupancies: The wall that separates the business use and factory use does not appear to be properly rated as required. Provide one of the following options embedded within the plan set: ◦ Revise to provide a generic Gypsum Association listed assembly versus a UL listed assembly that relies on proprietary materials to create the assembly. (2018 IBC Sec. 703.2 & Sec. 703.3 #1) ◦ Revise to provide a wall section detail designed to show compliance with 2018 IBC Sec. 721.1 and Table 721.1 (2). The detail must clearly show all components to field construct the assembly, with a reference to the table and the item number. (2018 IBC Sec. 703.3 #2) ◦ Revise to provide a wall section detail designed to show compliance with 2018 IBC Sec. 722.1. The detail must clearly show all components to field construct the assembly, with a reference to the table and the item number. (2018 IBC Sec. 703.3 #3) ◦ Since UL utilizes proprietary materials as part of the testing process for the listing. Please provide the most recently published complete UL listed assembly. (2018 IBC Sec. 703.2 & Sec. 703.3 #1) 3. Sheet A1.3/Egress Illumination: The reflected ceiling plan does provide the location of required egress illumination. Provide the location of all egress illumination. (2018 IBC Section 1008) 4. Sheet A1.3/Exit Signage: The reflected ceiling plan does provide the location of required exit signage. Provide the location of all exit signage. (2018 IBC Section 1013) 5. General/Thru Penetration Firestopping: Provide listed through penetration firestopping assemblies. These listed assemblies rely on the use of proprietary materials as part of the testing process to verify the through penetration firestopping assembly listing. Please provide the most recently published complete UL listed assemblies. This will require that you cut and paste the most recently published complete assemblies for embedment within the plan set. (2018 IBC Sec. 714.4.1.2 & Sec. 714.5.1.2) 6. Sheet A4.0/Rated Doors: The doors in the fire separation do not appear to be rated properly. Provide properly rated doors. (2018 IBC Table 716.1(2)) 7.

Recalculate loads or upsize circuit breakers, transformers, and Bus Ducts as required. 9. Need to identify conductor and grounding sizes somewhere in design for all circuits that require larger than #12 AWG (as this is default as per E0.00 Electrical Symbol Notes). Could identify circuit conductor sizes in panel schedules as this information is not currently provided. Should identify transformer sizes in panel schedules but this information is shown on 1-Line Diagram. 10. E-4.02 ELECTRICAL PANELBOARD SCHEDULES 1A, 1B, 2A, 2B: Comment only, Panel 2B’s circuit for subpanel 2C is only 20 amps and cannot support the 62 amp load that is shown on Panel 2C on sheet E-4.03. 11.

| 11/04/2025 | Site Engineering Standard | REQUIRES RESUBMIT | Permit: TC-COM-1025-01929 Location: 9368 E OLD VAIL RD Review Date: 11/4/2025 Site Engineering Comments: 1. The development package associated with the site and proposed construction shows the square footage of the proposed structure to be 30450 SF, but the commercial plans show an actual SF (Entire building) to be 39,875 SF. It is required that the site calculations and proposed site be the same as what was reviewed and approved through the development package TD-DEV-0325-00065. Revise plans accordingly. If the greater SF is proposed, then a revision to the development package will be required. 2. Provide a callout for all building downspouts and sidewalk scuppers, ensure that this matches what is shown on the development package 3. The shown site plan shows the trash enclosures slightly different than what was reviewed for the development package, please revise plans so that the site remains the same as what the development package shows.
