Follow-up comments:
6) Provide fully dimensioned plans.
The response was incomplete. P/ease fully dimension the floor plan.
13) On your plans provide a table that includes the following:
c. Allowable area
Provide the al/owable area for this occupancy group and type based on
Table 503.
d. Proposed area
Provide the total calculated f/oor area for this tenant space.
15) Illustrate compliance with the minimum plumbing fixture requirements described
in the 2010 California Plumbing Code, Chapter 4, Table 4-1 Minimum Plumbing
Facilities and Table A- Occupant Load Factor.
The 2010 California Plumbing Code requires separate toilet facilities for each
sex when fhe "total floor area" is more than 1500 square feet. The fotal floor
area of this proposed tenant space is approximately 1675 square feef, not 1275
as stated. On the plans indicate that a separate bathroom will be provided for
each sex.
16) Separate toilet facilities are required for each sex, except:
a. Residential occupancie.s
b. Occupancies serving ten or fewer people may have a toilet facility for use
by more than one person at a time, shall be permitted for use by both
sexes.
c. Business and Mercantile occupancies with 1500 square feet or less may
have a toilet facility for use by no more than one person at a time, shall be
permitted for use by both sexes. 2010 CPC §412.3
This project does not qualify for exception a, b, or c. On the plans
indicafe that a separafe bathroom will be provided for each sex.
17) Show compliance with all accessibility regulations found in the 2010 CBC for
existing buildings including:
a. Specify a level landing, slope, and cross slope on each side of the door at
all required entrances and exits.
No response found to this commenf.
c. Accessible bathrooms
Because a bathroom is required for each sex, provide dimensioned
defails on fhe plans which show that both bathrooms will be fully
accessib/e.
NOTE: A written response to the items noted here and plans that specifically
address items 6, 13, 15, 16, and 17 must be re-submitted before this project can
move forward for Planning Commissip�r� action.

notes on a separate full size plan sheet, preferably 2' x 3' or larger or attach the
attached document to plans. Project proponent may use the attached Construction
BMPs plan sheet to comply with this requirement. Electronic file is available for

Requirements for Architectural Copper
Protect water quality during installation, cleaning, treating, and washing!
Copper from Buildings May Harm Aquatic Life
Copper can harm aquatic life in San Francisco Bay. Water that comes
into contact with architectural copper may contribute to impacts,
especially during installation, cleaning, treating, or washing. Patination
solutions that are used to obtain the desired shade of green or brown
typically contain acids. After treatment, when the copper is rinsed to
remove these acids, the rinse water is a source of pollutants.
Municipalities prohibit discharges to the storm drain of water used in the
installation, cleaning, treating and washing of architectural copper.
Use Best Management Practices (BMPs)
The following Best Management Practices (BMPs) must be implemented to prevent prohibited
discharges to storm drains.
During Installation
• If possible, purchase copper materials that have been pre-patinated at the factory.
• If patination is done on-site, implement one or more of the following BMPs:
o Discharge the rinse water to landscaping. Ensure that the
rinse water does not flow to the street or storm drain.
Block off storm drain inlet if needed.
o Collect rinse water in a tank and pump to the sanitary
sewer. Contact your local sanitary sewer agency before
discharging to the sanitary sewer.
o Collect the rinse water in a tank and haul off-site for
proper disposal.
• Consider coating the copper materials with an impervious
coating that prevents further corrosion and runoff. This will
also maintain the desired color for a longer time, requiring
less maintenance.
During Maintenance �
Implement the following BMPs during routine maintenance activities, such as power washing the roof,
re-patination or re-application of impervious coating:
• Block storm drain inlets as needed to prevent runoff from entering storm drains.
• Discharge the wash water to landscaping or to the sanitary sewer (with permission from the local
sanitary sewer agency). If this is not an option, haul the wash water off-site for proper disposal..
Protect the Bay/Ocean and yourself!
If you are responsible for a discharge to the storm drain of non-
stormwater generated by installing, cleaning, treating or washing
copper architectural features, you are in violation of the municipal
stormwater ordinance and may be subject to a fine.
