The following code comments reflect a review of building plans only. If site-related comments are applicable to this project, they will be generated by others (e.g., Planning, Engineering, Public Works, Health, etc.). GENERAL COMMENTS: 1. Sheet T-1 and Plans Sets, Index. The index does not match the sheets included in the plans sets. There are inconsistencies regarding Sheets A11, A12, A15 – A17, A-18 and P-2. In addition, it appears that a reference to the reflected ceiling plan on Sheet E-1 should refer to Sheet A-16 instead of Sheet A-17. 2. Various Sheets, Referenced Codes. There are a number of references to previous editions of the model codes, such as “2003 IRC” and “2000 IBC.” Please correct these references and any section cites to reflect the model codes currently adopted by the City of Tucson. 3. Sheets T-1 and A-4, Square Footage Summaries. The garage square footages given on these sheets are different. Please revise the square footage summaries on these sheets for accuracy and consistency. 4. Automatic Fire Sprinkler System. The fire department having jurisdiction may require that an automatic fire sprinkler system is installed. Please coordinate with the fire department regarding automatic fire sprinkler system requirements, plans, permits and inspections. Note that this is only a reminder and does not require a response. 5. Sheets M-1 and/or P-1, Manufacturer’s Installation Instructions.

Reference IRC Section R401.3.This portion of the plans has been reviewed and accepted. ENERGY EFFICIENCY COMMENTS: This portion of the plans has been accepted and approved. MECHANICAL, PLUMBING AND ELECTRICAL COMMENTS: 1. Sheet P-1, Gas Pipe Sizing. It appears that the entire dwelling is proposed to be served by a ¾” fuel gas line. With 365 CFH demand and a developed length of 85 feet, the minimum main gas line size is 1 ¼ inches. Please clarify this issue and revise the plans if necessary to meet the minimum requirements of IRC Section G2413 and Table G2413.4(1.). 2. Sheet A-4, Shower Door. IRC Section P2708.1 requires that shower doors swing outward. Please revise the plans to meet the minimum requirements of this code section. 3. Sheets P-1 and P-2, Water Pipe Sizing. The water pipe sizing table on Sheet P-2 does not appear to include the three (3) new hose bibbs shown on sheet P-1. Typically two hose bibbs, at 2.5 fixture units each (IRC), are used for water pipe sizing purposes. In addition, the fixture units should be calculated based upon the plumbing provisions of the 2003 IRC. Reference IRC Section P2903.7 and Tables P2903.6 and P2903.7. 4. Sheet E-2, Bonding.

It appears that an additional GFCI-protected counter receptacle outlets may be required in the kitchen between the range and the sink so that there is not more than 2 ft. between an edge and an outlet or more than 4 ft. of counter space to an outlet. Reference IRC Section E3801.4.1. 6. Sheet E-1, Outdoor Outlets. Please revise the electrical plan to show at least one moisture-resistant GFCI-protected receptacle outlet accessible at grade level at the front of the dwelling. Reference IRC Section E3801.7. 7. Sheet E-1 or E-2, Boxes at Ceiling Fan Outlets. Please add a note reflecting the revised wording in 2006 IRC Section E3805.9, stating that outlet boxes and outlet box systems used as the sole support for ceiling-suspended fans (paddle) are to be marked by the manufacturer as suitable for this purpose and are not to support fans that weigh more than 70 lbs. Marking for boxes designed to support fans weighing more than 35 lbs. is to include the maximum weight to be supported. Reference IRC Section E3805.9. 8. Sheet E-1 or E-2, Damp Or Wet Locations. Please revise the electrical plan to confirm that all fixtures, fittings, boxes and receptacles located in damp or wet locations, i.e., outdoor receptacle outlets, light fixtures in tubs or showers or at outdoor patios, etc.; are to be listed to be suitable for their locations. The light fixtures above showers or tubs and the wall-mounted exterior light fixtures are required to be listed and labeled as suitable for their locations. Reference IRC Section E3805.11, E3902.8 and E3903.8. OUTDOOR LIGHTING CODE COMMENTS: 1. Sheets A-16 and E-1, Outdoor Lighting Summaries. Both of these sheets contain outdoor lighting summaries that differ from one another. The summary on Sheet A-16 appears to be the most accurate. Please either delete one of the summaries or revise them for consistency and coordinate this information with the electrical and reflected ceiling plans. Reference 2006 City of Tucson/Pima County Outdoor Lighting Code Sections 102.4.1 and 104.2. 2. Sheet A-16, Fixture Types and Locations. The summary table lists six (6) of the type “C” fixtures, but there appear to be nine (9) of these fixtures on the plan. Please coordinate the lighting summary table with the reflected ceiling plan and the electrical plan on sheet E-1. Reference City of Tucson Outdoor Lighting Code Section 104.
