Oversized meters are inijccurate during low-flow conditions. If it is oversized, for the life of the meter; the City will not accurately bill the owner for the water used. • All single family dwelling units received "standard" 1" service with 5/8" service. H:IWORD\DOCS\CHKLST\Bultdlng Plancl1eck Cklsl Farin (Generic).doc 5 Rev. 7/14/00 1 j BUILDING PLANCHECK CHECKLIST • If owner/developer proposes a size other than the "standard", then owner/developer must provide potable water· demand calculations, which include total fixture counts and maximum water demand in gallons per minute (gpm). A typical fixture count and water demand worksheet is attached. Once the gpm is provided, check against the "meter sizing schedule" to verify the anticipated meter size for the unit. • Maximum service and meter size is a 2" service with a 2" meter. • If a developer is proposing a meter greater than 2", suggest the installation of multiple 2" services as needed to provide the anticipated demand. (manifolds are considered on case by case basis to limit multiple trenching into the street). D 12b. Irrigation Use (where recycled water is not available) All irrigation meters must be sized via irrigation calculations (in gpm) prior to approval. The developer must provide these calculations. Please follow these guidelines: 1. If the project is a newer development (newer than 1998), check the recent improvement plans and observe if the new irrigation service is reflected on the improvement sheets. If so, at the water meter station, the demand in gpm may be listed there. Irrigation services are listed with a circled "I", and potable water is typically a circled "W". The irrigation service should look like: STA 1+00 Install 2" service and 1..5: meter (estimated 100 gpm) 2. If the improvement plans do not list the irrigation meter and the service/meter will be installed via another instrument such as the building plans or grading plans (w/ a right of way permit of course), then the applicant must provide irrigation calculations for estimated worst-case irrigation demand (largest zone with the farthest reach). Typically, Larry Black has already reviewed this if landscape plans have been prepared, but the applicant must provide the calculations to you for your use. Once you have received a good example of irrigation calculations, keep a set for your reference. In general the calculations will include: • Hydraulic grade line • Elevation at point of connection (POC) • Pressure at POC in pounds per square inch (PSI) • Worse case zone (largest, farthest away from valve • Total Sprinkler heads listed (with gpm use per head) • Include a 10% residual pressure at point of connection 3. In general, all major sloped areas of a subdivision/project are to be irrigated via separate irrigation meters (unless the project is only SFD with no HOA). As 10119 as the project is located within the City recycled water H:IWORD\DOCS\CHKLST\Bulldlng Plancheck Cklst Fonn (Genenc).doc 6 Rev. 7/14/00 Ii D D DD BUILDING PLANCHECK CHECKLIST service boundary, the City intends on switching these irrigatioh services/meters to a new recycled water line in the future. 12c. Irrigation Use (where recycled water is available) 1. Recycled water meters are sized the same as the irrigation meter above. 2. · If a project fronts a street with recycled water, then they should be connecting to this line to irrigate slopes within the development. For subdivisions, this should have been identified, and implemented on the improvement plans. Installing recycled water meters is a benefit for the applicant since they are exempt from paying the San Diego County Water Capacity fees .. However, if they front a street which the recycled water is there, but is not live (sometimes they are charged with potable water until recycled water is available), then the applicant must pay the San Diego Water Capacity Charge. If wi.thin three years, the recycled water .line is charged with recycled water by CMWD, then the applicant can apply for a refund to the San Diego County Water Authority (SDCWA) for a refund. However, let.the applicant know that we cannot guarantee the refund, and they must deal with the SDCWA for this. 13.

It is requested that the hose, nozzle and rack requirements be waived. We do no recommend that employees take time to attempt to fight a fire with 1 ½ inch hose lines in high-piled storage areas. This is a dangerous fire fighting procedure. The presence of the hose only tempts employees to engage in fire fighting when they should be evacuating the building. To summarize the request to omit fire hose equipment: ~ Fire departments are generally trained to use their own equipment. ~ Employees are directed specifically not to use this equipment, but to evacuate the building. ~ Liability risks~ if employees do use this equipment and are injured or killed. ~ Maintenance of the equipment is difficult.

Chapter 2 Classification of Occupancies and Commodities 2-1"' Classification of Occupancies. Occupancy classifications for this standard shall relate to sprinkler design, installation, and water supply requirements only. They shall not be intended to be a general classification of occupancy hazards. 2-1.1 * Llght Hazard Occupancies. Light hazard occupancies shall be occupancies or portions of other occupancies where the quantity and/or combustibility of contents is low-and fires I 1,·ith relati\'ely low rates of heat release are expected. 2-1.2 Ordinary Hazard Occupancies. 2-1.2.1"" Ordinary Hazard (Group 1). Ordinary hazard I (Group I) occupancies shall be occupancies or portions of other occupancies where combustibility is low, quantity of combustibles is moderate, stockpiles of combustibl'es do not exceed 8 ft (2.4 m), and fires with moderate rates of heat I release are expected. 2-1.2.2* Ordinary Hazard (Group 2). Ordinary hazard (Group 2.) occupancies sha!L be occupancies or portions of other occupancies where the quantity and combustibility of I contents is moderate to high, stockpiles do not exceed 12 ft (3.7 m), and fires with moderate to high rates of heat release are expected. I 2-1.3 Extra Hazard Occupancies. 2-1.3.1 * Extra Hazard (Group 1). Extra hazard (Group 1) I occupancies shall be occupancies or portions of other occu- pancies where the quantity and combustibility of contents is ve,~\' high and dust, lint, or other materials are present, intro- ducing the probability of rapidly developing fires with high rates of heat release but with little or no combustible ·or flam- mable liquids. 1999 Edition 2-1.3.2* Extra Hazard (Group 2), Extra hazard (Group 2) occupancies shall include occupancies with moderate to sub- stantial amounts of flammable or combustible liquids or occu- pancies where shielding of combustibles is extensive. 2-1.4* Special Occupancy Hazards. 2-2*t Commodity Classification. 2-2.l General. 2-2.1.1 * Classification of Commodities. Commodity classifi- ' cation and the corresponding pr.qtection requirements shall be determined based on the makeup of individual storage units (i.e., unit load, pallet load). 2-2.1.2 Mixed Commodities. Protection requirements shall not be based on the overall commodity mix in a fire area. Mixed commodity storage shall be protected by the require- ments for the highest classified commodity and storage arrangement. Exception No. 1: Up to 10 pallet loads of a higher hazard commodity, as described in 2-2.3 and 2-2.4, shall be permitted to be present in an area not exceeding 40,000 JP. (3716 m2 ). The higher hazard commod- ity shall be randomly dispersed with no adjacent loads in any direction (including diagonally). If the ceiling protection is based on Class I or Class II commodities, then the allowable number of pallet loads for Class IV or Group A plastics shall be reduced to five. Exception No. 2: The higher hazard material shall be permitted to be confined to a designated area and properly protected for that area. 2-2.2 Pallet Types,. When loads are palletized, the use of wooden or metal pallets shall be assumed in the classifica- tion of commodities. When plastic pallets are used, the clas- sification of the commodity unit shall be increased one class (i.e., Class III will become Class IV and Class IV will become Group-A plastics). No increase shall be required for Group A plastic commodity. Exception: When specific test data is available, the data shall take pre- cedence in determining classification of commodities. 2-2.3* Commodity Classes. 2-2.3.l* Class I. A Class I commodity shall be defined as a noncombustible product that meets one of the following criteria: (I) Placed directly on wooden pallets (2) Placed in single layer corrugated cartons, with or with- out single-thickness cardboard dividers, with or without pallets (3) Shrink-wrapped or paper-wrapped as a unit load with or without pallets 2-2.3.2* Class II. A Class H commodity shall be defined as a .. noncombustible product that is in slatted wooden crates, solid wood b0xes, multiple-layered corrugated cartons, or equiva- lent combustible packaging material, with or without pallets. 2-2.3.3* Class III. A Class III commodity shall be defined as a product fashioned from wood, paper, natural fibers, or Group C plastics with or without cartons, boxes, or crates and with or without pallets. Such a product shall be permitted to contain a limited amount (5 percent by weight or volume) of Group A or Group B plastics. 2-2.3.4* Class IV.

HAZARDOUS CHEMICAL REACTION is a reaction which generates pressure or byproducts which could cause injury, illness or harm to humans, domestic animals, livestock or wildlife. HAZARDOUS FIRE AREA is land which is covered with grass, grain brush or forest, whether privately or publicly owned, which is so situated or is of such inaccessible location that a fire originating upon such land would present an abnormaIJy difficult job of suppression or would result in great and unusual damage through fire or resulting erosion. Such areas are designated by the chief on a map maintained in_ the office of the chief. HAZARDOUS MATERIALS are those chemicals or sub- stances which are physical hazards or health hazards as defined and classified in Article 80 whether the materials are in usable or waste condition. HAZARDOUS PRODUCTION MATERIAL (HPM) is a so-lid, liquid or gas associated with semiconductor manufacturing that has a degree-of-hazard rating in ·health, flammability or reac-. tivity of Class 3 or 4 as ranked by UFC Standard 79-3 and which is used directly in research, laboratory or production processes which have as their end product materials which are not hazard- ous. 1-18 2001 CALIFORNIA FIRE CODE HAZARDOUS WATERSHED FIRE AREA is a location within 500 feet (152.4 m) of a forest or brush-, grass-or grain-cov- ered land, el(clusive of small individual lots or parcels of land lo- cated outside of a brush-, forest-or grass-covered area. HEALTH HAZARD is a classification of a chemical for which there is statistically significant evidence based on at least one study conducted in accordance with established scientific prin- ciples that acute or chronic health effects could occur in exposed persons. Health hazards include chemicals which are carcinogens, toxic or highly toxic materials, reproductive toxins, irritants, cor- rosives, sensitizers, hepatotoxins, nephrotoxins, neurotoxins, agents which act on the hematopoietic system, and agents which damage the lungs, skin, eyes or mucous membranes. HEATING AND COOKING APPLIANCE is an electric, gas or oil-fired appliance not intended for central heating. HELIPORT is an area of land or water or a structure surface which is used, or intended for use, for the landing and take-off of helicopters, and any appurtenant areas which are used, or intended for use, for heliport buildings and other heliport facilities. HELISTOP is the same as a heliport, except that no refueling, maintenance, repairs or storage of helicopters is permitted. HIGH EXPLOSIVE is explosive material, such as dynamite, which can be caused to detonate by means of a No. 8 test blasting cap when unconfined. HIGHLY TOXIC MATERIAL is a material which produces a lethal dose or lethal concentration which falls within any of the following categories: 1. A chemical that has a median lethal dose (LDso) of 50 milli- grams or less per kilogram of body weight when administered orally to albino rats weighing between 200 and 300 grams each. 2. A chemical that has a median lethal dose (LDso) of 200 mil- ligrams or less per kilogram of body weight when administered by continuous contact for 24 hours, or less if death occurs within 24 hours, with the bare skin of albino rabbits weighing between 2 and 3 kilograms each. 3. A chemical that has a median lethal concentration (LCso) in air of 200 parts per million by volume or less of gas or vapor, or 2 milligrams per liter or less of mist, fume or dust, when adminis- tered by continuous inhalation for one hour, or less if death occurs within one hour, to albino rats weighing between 200 and 300 grams each. Mixtures of these materials with ordinary materials, such as wa- ter, might not warrant classification as highly toxic. While this system is basically simple in application, any hazard evaluation which is required for the precise categorization of this type of ma- terial shall be performed by experienced, technically competent persons. HIGHLY VOLATILE LIQUID is a liquid with a boiling point of less than 68°F (20°C). · IDGH-PILED COMBUSTfBLE STORAGE is storage of combustible i;naterials in closely packed piles or combustible ma- terials on pallets, in racks or on shelves where the top of storage is greater than 12 feet (3658 mm) in height. When required by the chief, high-piled combustible storage also includes certain high- hazard commodities, such as rubber tires, Group A plastics, flam- mable liquids, idle pallets and similar commodities, where the top of storage is greater than 6 feet (1829 mm) in height. HIGHWAY is a public street or public road.

How- ever; in a st9rage or warehousing situation, classification is also affected by such factors as the primary storage or shipping container material, the amount of air space, and the location of the more hazardous materials within the container. For example, a Group A plastic product enclosed in a five-or six- sided metal container can be considered Class II, while a ceramic product heavily wrapped in tissue paper and placed in a corrugated carton could be Class III.
