Ms. Dawn Bushnaq Bushnaq Studio Architecture + Design Plan Check Number: B2109-083, First Building Review February 2, 2022 Architectural General: 1. The Building Code Summary on Sheet G301 lists "A-2", "A-311, "B", "I-4", and I-1 Condition 2 occupancy classifications. The Egress and Floor plans use generic descriptions of the building uses that do not clearly indicate the locations and extents of the occupancies. Diagrams should be included showing where each type of occupancy occurs. Accessory occupancies including but not limited to "U", need not be specified. See IBC Sections 107.2.1 and 302.1. 2. The area calculations in the Building Code Summary schedule on Sheet G301 for IBC Table 506.2 appear less than shown in the plans. Level 1 should include all areas under a roof and floor above. Level 3 has an approximate area of 3,500 SF. The floor areas should be reviewed and revised as needed. The "U" occupancy classification is accessory and should not be used to demonstrate compliance. See the definition for "area, building" in IBC Section 202. 3. The "Explanation" text for Table 509.4.1 on Sheet G301 is not legible and should be revised. See IBC Section 107.2.1. 4. The building includes a kitchen with domestic cooking appliance in Room 302 at Level 3 per Sheet A203. The number of care recipients exceeds 30. The design does not appear to comply with IBC Section 420.8 Item 2. Clarification should be provided on the intended use of this room and how it complies. Alternatively, the domestic cooking appliances should be removed. Fire Protection: The Fire Separation Distance plan on Sheet G304 indicates a fire separation distance (FSD) exceeding 20 feet on the east side of the building. This is based on Summit Avenue being located on this side. However, the roadway is being vacated per the Site Plan 1/G101 and City of Everett Ordinance No. 3826-21. Measurement of the FSD to the center of the roadway is not valid. The FSD should not exceed 3 feet measured to the east property line. Alternatively, a minimum FSD may be allowed measuring to an assumed imaginary lot line per IBC Section 705.3; this is based on easement restrictions for the vacated roadway. The imaginary line and proposed distance from the east side(s) of the building should be shown in the site plans on Sheets G101, G103, and G304. This will establish the effective property line for determining the FSD of future projects in the vacated property. 6. The building includes an I-4 occupancy in the two-story portion north of Grid 9. The building south of Grid 9 is three stories, which exceeds the limit for the "1-4" occupancy in a non - separated VA building per Table 504.4. A minimum one -hour occupancy separation is required between the two- and three- stories portions of the building based on the forming having an "I- 4" occupancy and the latter having an "A" occupancy. Fire barriers and horizontal assemblies, including opening protectives, should be specified in the construction plans per Sections 707 and 711, respectively, per IBC Section 508.4.4.1. The "I-4" occupancy should be located completely within the two-story portion of the building.
