| 11/30/2023 | Commercial Structural | REQUIRES RESUBMIT | Please submit your revised drawings along with a detailed response letter, which states how all Building Review Section comments were addressed. 1. The submitted documents were incomplete and a thorough plan review could not be performed. Please be aware, new comments may arise with the next review. However, several of the most obvious items have been included in the list below. 2. Sheet 1: Under the Code Review section, please amend note #2A to clarify #1 is an Exterior wall and indicate Exterior walls to have a minimum fire resistance rating of 2-hours as required for Exterior walls in Table 601 [ IBC Section 601] 3. Sheet 1: Under the Code Review section, please amend note #4 Occupant Load to show the design occupant load of the building, to include the main floor and the basement. The calculated occupant load is the minimum number of people for which the number of exits and capacity of the means of egress must be provided. [IBC 107.2 & Section 1004] 4. Sheet 1: Under the Code Review section, please amend note #7 Plumbing Fixture Requirements. Please show the minimum number plumbing facilities provided and the minimum number required in IBC Table 2902.1[IBC Section 29] Based on the design occupant load. Please note the calculation provided on the plan for 499 occupants seems to be incorrect as 250 /75= 3.3 or 4 WC for each sex. With the next submittal and the new design occupant load; please provide accurate plumbing fixture calculations. 5. Sheet1: Amend plans to indicate the required fire resistive rating of the separation from the adjacent occupancy and show fire resistive wall assembly on the plans. Please include the basement as well. [IBC Table 508.4] For example, 1-hour separation is required between an A and a B occupancy 6. Sheet 1: Please the type of the installed fire sprinkler.

Sheet 2: Please show on the Means of Egress floor plan the area and occupant load factor improvements (OLF) used for each area and dimension all areas. Since the furniture is not fixed an OLF of 15 would be used for unconcentrated tables and chairs and an OLF of 7 would be used for the areas of the floor that are used for assembly standing and dancing for example. Please provide a detailed floor plan with OLF, square footage and the number of occupants for each area. Light hatching, shading or other means of describing the different areas could be used for clarity. [IBC 107.2] 10. Sheet 2: Amend plans to upgrade Means of Egress plan to provide a complete code and exiting analysis. Identify the path of exit travel on the plans and indicate the common path of travel distance and maximum travel distance. No point in the building shall exceed the distances from an exterior exit, exterior exit stair or ramp measured along the path of travel. The travel distance shall include travel within unenclosed stairways. Note: Travel distance and common path of egress travel share the same starting point. [IBC 107.2.3 & 1017] 11. Amend plans to note assembly occupancy spaces require occupant load signage. [IBC 1004.9] 12. Amend plans to show the number of occupants being served by each egress door and stairway is indicated.

Sheet 2: Amend plans to provide panic hardware for doors serving a space with A occupancies. [IBC 1010.1.10] 15. Sheet 2: The exit discharge path to the public way must also be shown and dimensioned on the construction documents. The exit discharge path to the public way is an important component of the means of egress system for all buildings or structures. The exit discharge path must be delineated on the submitted and approved plans to ensure the path is reviewed for code compliance. [IBC 107.2 & IBC Section 1028] Please show compliance with the following: A. The path(s) of exit discharge is shown to a public way or a safe dispersal area. [IBC 107.2.3, 1028.5] B.

The path(s) of exit discharge are sufficiently sized. Egress courts are rated. [IBC 1028.2, 1028.4] E. Changes in elevation < 12 inches use sloped surfaces along the path of exit discharge. [IBC 1003.5] F. A photometric plan or other method of showing 1 footcandle of normal power illumination at the walking surface along the path(s) of exit discharge, while the building is occupied. [IBC 1008.2.1, IBC 1008.2.3] 16. Where an egress court serving a building or portion thereof is less than 10 feet in width, the egress court walls shall have not less than 1-hour fire-resistance-rated construction for a distance of 10 feet above the floor of the egress court. Openings within such walls shall be protected by opening protectives having a fire protection rating of not less than 3/4 hour.

The means of egress illumination shall be supplied by backup power (consisting of storage batteries, unit equipment, or an on-site generator) for a duration of not less than 90 minutes. [IBC 1008.3] D. Illumination shall be provided along the path of travel for the exit discharge from each exit to the public way. [1008.2.3] 18.

If this exemption is taken, accessibility upgrades equaling 20% of the cost of the project shall be made. [IEBC Section 305] 22. The required design live load for the main floor assembly area with movable seats is 100 pounds per square foot main per IBC Table 1607.1. Please provide an analysis and evaluation by an Arizona licensed Structural Engineer to indicate the existing live load capacity of the main floor.

| 11/29/2023 | ROW Engineering Review | REQUIRES RESUBMIT | The existing ramp was built within City of Tucson right-of-way (ROW) without a permit from the Department of Transportation and Mobility (DTM), does not meet standard specifications for an ADA compliant ramp, and will need to be removed; everything south of the "loading dock" is public ROW. If the applicant wants to construct a ramp or any other improvement within this ROW, they will need to purchase the ROW or obtain a Temporary Revocable Easement (TRE) working through DTM’s Real Estate Division (520-791-4181). The Real Estate Division will be able to provide applications for the TRE or the purchase option. Please reference RES 2024-128, Phil Paige is the point of contact. If the applicant decides to use a TRE, and if it is approved and then executed, the applicant will need to submit an application for a ROW permit to construct the ramp, which includes submitting detailed drawings for an ADA compliant structure. If the sidewalk or travel lane along Toole will be impacted by the construction, a traffic control plan will need to be submitted as part of the application. |
