03/10/2020 DAVID RIVERA ZONING REVIEW Reqs Change FROM: David Rivera
PDSD Zoning Review Section

PROJECT: T19CM05078- New Building (Commercial - Hospital)
Building Plan Review (2nd Review) Northwest Medical Center
2200 S. Houghton Road - PAD 25 Zoning - Related to DP19-0164

TRANSMITTAL DATE: March 10, 2020

DUE DATE: March 20, 2020

COMMENTS: Please resubmit revised drawings and any redlined plans along with a detailed response letter, which states how all Zoning Review Section comments were addressed.


1. COMMENT: Zoning has done a review of the building plans. Prior to a more comprehensive review by zoning the DP must be reviewed and approved prior to zoning approval of the building plans. While the building plans are consistent as it relates to the zoning review purview, zoning cannot approve the building plans until the Commercial Plans reviewer(s) have approved the building plans and CDRC has reviewed and approved the DP.


2. COMMENT: Zoning will review the building plans on the next submittal to assure consistency with the DP. If any changes are necessary to the building plans due to plan review comments that affect zoning requirements the DP will have to be revised to reflect the changes. Once the DP is approved by all reviewers and the building plans are approved by the Commercial Plans reviewers zoning can approve the building plans.

If you have any questions about this transmittal, Contact David Rivera on Tuesday or Wednesday at (520) 837-4957 or by email David.Rivera@tucsonaz.gov

1. As per the previous plan review comments, the responses and or plan changes may still require additional information or clarification to verify code compliance for the installations.

Please provide this for all the feeders shown.

#4(c). Identify the transformers on the line diagrams as previously requested.
#4(g). Ref; Plan Sheet E06.00, Detail #7. Note#3 is still unacceptable for branch circuit assignment. The response stated." POWER CONNECTIONS HAVE BEEN ADDED". Where?
#4(h). Please indicate what plan sheet shows the elevator feeders, panel designations.
3. As requested per the previous plan review comment #5. The Elevators are still not shown on the equipment schedules or line diagrams. The response states,"ELEVATOR POWER CONNECTIONS HAVE BEEN ADDED TO DRAWINGS SET". Where?
4. Previous comment #6(b) Plan Sheets E01.22 and E01.23 are missing in this 2nd plan set. …In your response, please identify the specific plan in question.

03/23/2020 ROBERT SHERRY PLUMBING-COMMERCIAL REVIEW Reqs Change 1. Provide labels for the riser diagrams on sheet P06.00. Where are the riser diagrams for the main water lines and drain lines? Remove artifacts floating on the drawings. [Initial comment: Provide water isometrics and waste and vent isometrics. Reference: Section 107.2.1, IBC 2018].
2. Lavatory model L-1 installed in public restrooms requires a metering faucet. Provide a statement requiring that the time out for the automatic faucets be set to 30-seconds. [Initial comment: Provide automatic faucets for lavatories located in public restrooms (including staff restrooms). Verify that the automatic faucets will operate for a minimum time of 10-seconds but have an automatic time out to limit the amount of water dispensed to 0.25 gallons per cycle. Reference: Section 419.6, IPC 2018, as amended by the City of Tucson and Section 606.4, ICC/ANSI A117.1-09.]
3. The enlarged plumbing drawings for the restrooms and the unfinished riser diagram only show the DHW supply passing by the lavatories but do not note a maximum distance from the hot water source. [Initial comment: Verify that the distance from the hot water source to the hot water termination for the public lavatories (including staff restrooms) complies with the requirements of Section C404.5, IECC 2018.
4. The revised plumbing fixture schedule does not show DHW connected to the clinical sink. [Initial comment: Revise the plumbing fixture schedule to include hot water for the clinical sink (CS-1). Reference: Section 607.1, IPC 2018.]
5. The backwater valve was not located on the revised drawings but the building drain for the boiler room also is connected to horizontal drains serving the second floor. Drains serving floors that are more than 12" above the rim of the next upstream manhole may not pass through a backwater valve. [Initial comment: The FFE for the Boiler Room (1983) is less than 12" above the rim elevation of manhole MH-4. Provide a backwater valve for the building drain from the Boiler Room. Reference: Section 714.1, IPC 2018 as amended by the City of Tucson.]
6. The storm water piping schedules in the 2018 IPC are based on the storm water flow rate in GP. Convert the roof areas and the adjacent vertical wall areas into the flow rate by multiplying the area by 0.031 GPM/square foot. Provide the slope of the horizontal storm water pipe and finish labeling the pipe sizes on the riser diagrams. [Initial comment: Provide roof drainage and hydraulic scupper size calculations based on the 100-year hourly rainfall rate for Tucson, 3" per hour. Reference: Sections 1101.7, 1106, and 1108, IPC 2018.]
7. The State of Arizona requires a flow rate of 50 GPM per elevator shaft. No sump pumps are scheduled so the discharge of the pumps in unknown. The two sump pump discharge pipes located south of elevators 2 and 3 discharge to a 6" pipe that doesn't appear to connect to anything. The sump pump discharge pipe north of elevator 5 connects to a 4" building drain; the available capacity of the 4" building drain is not known. [Initial comment: Show the location of the elevator sump pumps, the route and size of their discharge piping, and their termination points. Reference: Section 107.2.1, IBC 2018.]
8. Finnish labeling the pipe sizes and loads for each outlet on the natural gas riser diagram [Initial comment: Provide a complete diagram of the natural gas distribution system showing the all of the loads, developed lengths, and the layout of the distribution piping. Reference: Section 402.2, IFGC 2018.]
9. Clarify the waste and vent piping shown on sheet P02.11 between columns 6 and 7, A.2 and B; it appears to be outside of the building.

Reference: Section 302.1, IMC 2018.]
4. Field-applied grease duct enclosures are not applicable to hazardous exhaust ducts. Sections 510.7.2 and 510.7.3, IMC 2018 explicitly state that fire-rated shafts are required for the penetration of floor/ceiling assemblies and fire-rated wall assemblies. [Initial comment: The hazardous exhaust duct to EF4-5 penetrates both a floor/ceiling assembly and a fire-resistance rated partition. Provide an enclosing fire-resistance rated shaft for the duct. Reference: Section 510.7.2 and 510.7.3, IMC 2018.]
