SCOPE OF REVIEW:

The scope of this plan review covers architectural, plumbing, mechanical, energy conservation and electrical. All code references are to the 2018 International Residential Code and 2018 International Energy Conservation Code. All features were checked only to the extent allowed by the submittals provided. All portions of this project are assumed to meet or will meet other departmental requirements, conditions, and concerns before permit approval.

2. All plans submitted for a newly constructed one- or two-family dwelling after June 1, 2010, must provide gray water utilization or preparation, Ordinance #10579/11089 revised July 9, 2013. The ordinance revision now requires a gray drain line discharge from one fixture for a one-story dwelling. Show a bathing fixture drain looped 3’ beyond an exterior wall below grade before connection to the building drain when a clothes washer is not located at an exterior wall. Use the appropriate detail at https://www.tucsonaz.gov/Departments/Planning-Development-Services/Building-Safety/Water-Energy-Conservation Gray Water Illustrations

2. Show a maximum ½” floor elevation changes at a notated accessible route entrance on the floor plan, R106.1.1. Include all threshold conditions for a route from the exterior into the living space.

SECTIONS - DETAILS:

1. An unvented roof assembly requires an air-impermeable rigid insulation material with a minimum R-5 value applied correctly to either side of the roof sheathing, R806.5. Show a roof design with insulation types and minimum thickness for meeting the condensation control requirement and the minimum total insulation value of R-38. Clarify the ceiling/roof insulation detail showing the air-impermeable rigid insulation material adhered to either side of the roof sheathing and the batt insulation in contact with the roof material.

PLUMBING PLANS:

1. The Tucson Water Department limits flow rates for the water meter size in compliance with P2903.7. Show an appropriate yard pipe bypassing the existing dwelling and show an appropriate water meter size for the additional demand.
