1. If the proposed project is determined to be a substantial improvement, the building shall be designed and constructed to resist the effects of flood hazards and flood
loads. The review by Environmental Planning will confirm whether a substantial
improvement exists. For buildings that are in more than one flood hazard area,
the provisions associated with the most restrictive flood hazard area shall

2. The allowable building area calculation on G0.01 assumes the project space is a separate building. For the space to be a separate building, a fire wall that is
constructed in accordance with CBC 706 needs to be verified. Please verify this
in the field and identify this wall on the plans. To use exception 4 in CBC 706.6
that exempts a 30” vertical extension above the roof, all of exception 4 must be
used. The revised plans include 2 of the
3 requirements, copied here:
4.1. There are no openings in the roof within 4 feet of the fire wall,
4.2. The roof is covered with a minimum Class B roof covering, and
4.3. The roof sheathing or deck is constructed of fire-retardant-treated wood for a
distance of 4 feet on both sides of the wall or the roof is protected with 5/8-inch
Type X gypsum board directly beneath the underside of the roof sheathing or deck,
supported by a minimum of 2-inch nominal ledgers attached to the sides of the roof
framing members for a minimum distance of 4 feet on both sides of the fire wall.
3. The revised set of plans did not include Sheet P0.1. Please include this revised sheet with the next submittal.
