special inspection is required, unless approved fabricator certification is submitted. Pre-fabricated stairs may be listed as a deferred submittal on the cover sheet of the drawings
CBC 1704.2.5
7. The garage floor plan shows steps at the sink/counter area. These steps do not appear to be
serving any area. Please clarify with details and specifications and/or delete these steps.
8. Please identify the Viewrail guard system on the plans and key to the manufacturer’s listed
specifications.
9. Please callout the fireplace unit manufacturer and model on the plans, or key to the
specification to locate this information. The specifications will need to include listing
numbers to verify approval. Typical listing agencies are Intertek, Warnock Hersey, UL, and
ICC ESR.
10. Please callout the sauna manufacturer and model on the plans, or key to the specification to
locate this information. The specifications will need to include listing numbers to verify

21. Please include the required electrical setup for future EV charging on the electrical plans.
Locate a listed cabinet, box or other enclosure to provide for a future electric vehicle charge

circuit to this area shall be provided. The electrical panel overcurrent device for the future
charger shall be identified as “EV CAPABLE”. CALGreen 4.106.4.1
22. Please coordinate the electrical legend with the plans. For example, the plans have light
fixtures with adjacent letters, but these letters are not in the legend and/or schedule. Sheet
E.1 has a note “See E.2 for Light Fixture Schedule”, but there is no schedule on Sheet E.2.
23. Providing “DIM” in the schedule seems like this should be on the plans at applicable areas.
Although not ideal, notes may substitute for required lighting control, including dimmers.
However, if notes are used instead marking the electrical switches with “DIM”, the “DIM”
should be removed from the schedule so that it is clearer.
24. “OS” is shown in the bathroom 1, 3, and pantry. Vacancy sensors are required to provide
lighting control in these areas, unless occupancy sensors are noted to be manual
on/automatic off. Also, other areas such as the master bath, laundry, garage, and
mechanical room do not have any lighting control marks on the plans. Please provide
consistency. Either show all rooms with vacancy sensor symbols or manual on/auto off
occupancy sensors, or delete all the symbols and include the requirements in the notes for
energy compliance. CA Energy §150.0(k)2I
25. “GFI” is marked in every required area except bath 1, bath 2 and the kitchen. Please add
this mark in these areas to be consistent. CEC 210.8(A)

gpm, rather than 2.0 gpm. CALGreen 4.303
Plumbing
27. Based on the total Btu demand, the gas pipe sizing shown on Sheet P1 is undersized. Using
CPC Table 1215.2(27), minimum main branch will need to be 1 1/4”. Please revise the gas

permit.
31. Please clearly identify areas on the lower level to be conditioned space vs. unconditioned
space. Coordinate the total area with the energy compliance documents.
32. Please include the two central split air conditioning units on the drawings to correspond
with the energy compliance documents. Include manufacturer’s listed specifications.
33. Please locate and identify the whole house ventilation system and method. The energy
compliance documents design an exhaust only method using 116 cfm exhaust fan (one sone
max.). CA Energy Standard 150(o)/ASHRAE Standard 62.2
34. Please correct the bookmarks such that the designated floor levels match the plan
sheets.
Structural
35. Please complete and submit a special inspection form PLG-240. The Statement of
Special Inspection of special inspections on Sheet S1.0 may substitute for the

special inspection agencies is available under “forms” at
http://www.sccoplanning.com/PlanningHome/BuildingSafety.aspx . [CBC 1704]
36. Stucco is indicated on the architectural elevation plans. Please revise the dead load
tabulation in the structural calculations that currently use Hardy siding. Revise the
corresponding calculations and plans, as necessary.

floor framing plan with the calculations.
38. Please include steel column to plate connection and bolt embedment specifications on
the foundation details, Sheet S6.0.
39. The Viewrail guard system has an ICC Evaluation Service report, ICC ESR-4798, associated
with it. However, the post connection to the support framing is not included in the
evaluation per the Conditions of Use in section 5.3 of the report. Please provide structural
calculations and details for connections such that a minimum 200 lb. force applied to
the top of the guardrail will be resisted. Include load transfer to framing, which will
include rim board to deck joist load transfer. Provide structural details and
specifications based on these calculations. [CRC R301.5]
