This plan review is limited to the techn·ical requirements contained in the Uniform Building Code,
Uniform Plumbing Code, Uniform Mechanical Code, National Electrical Code and state laws

Fire Department or other departments. Clearance from those departments may be required
prior to the issuance of a building permit.
Code sections cited are based ori the 2001 CBC, which adopts the 1997 USC.

• Please make all corrections on the original tracings, as requested in the correction list. Submit
three sets of plans for commercial/industrial projects (two sets of plans for residential projects).
For expeditious processing, corrected sets can be submitted in one of two ways:
a) Deliver a·11 corrected sets of plans and calculations/reports directly to the City of Carlsbad
Building Department, 1635 Faraday Avenue, Carlsbad, CA 92008, and (760) 602-2700.
The City will route the plans to EsGil Corporation and the Carlsbad Planning, Enginf)ering
and Fire Departments.
b) Bring one corrected set of .plans and calculations/reports to EsGil Corporation, 9320
Chesapeake Drive, Suite 208, San Diego, CA 92123, and (858) 560-1468. Deliver all
remaining sets of plans and calculations/reports directly to the City of Carlsbad Building
Department for routing to their Planning, Engineering and Fire Departments.
NOTE: Plans that are submitted directly to EsGil Corporation only will not be reviewed by
the City Planning, Engineering and Fire Departments until review by EsGil Corporation is
complete.
1. This plan review is for the expansion of an existing storage area. Apparently the storage will be
considered High Piled Storage and must comply with the UFC for sprinkler protection and
smoke and heat venting. the UBC does not distinguish the type of storage. The UBC requires
smoke and heat vents and curtain ·boards only for undivided storage areas exceeding 50,000
Sq ft. UBC 906.1 and 906.906.6.4. As shown the UBC does not regulate the smoke and heat
vents arn;:l.curtain boards for the expanded storage area of approx. 40,850 sq ft of storage. The
Carlsbad Fire Dept. must approve the proposed for compliance with the UFC.
2. Include as part of the plans an exit analysis of the expanded storage area. Based on the
occupant load two exits are required located½ the diagonal apart of the area served. Show the
location of the exits. One of the required exits must lead directly to the exterior the other may be
through an adjacent room.
3. Note-on the plans that the smoke and heat vents must comply with UBC Standard 15-7. See
UBC Section 906.1. ·
4. .Show on the plans the location of the required exit signs and illumination of the exits per UBC
Section 1003.2.8.2. ·
5. Detail on the plans the method of anchoring the new walls to the slab and the method of
bracing the top of the wall at the slip track as shown in detail 10/ A 1. the wall must be braced for
Out-of-plane lateral loads of 5PSF per USC 1611.5.
6. What is the purpose of the new 1 HR wall? The UBC does not require an occupancy separation
between the S1 storage and the adjacent 'B' occupancy. Please clarify.
7. Provide a note on the plaris indicating whether any hazardous materials will be stored and/or
used within the building which exceed the quantities listed in UBC Tables 3-D and 3-E.
8. Note on the plans: "All exits are to be openable from inside without the use of a key or special
knowledge." In lieu of the above, in a Group B, F, Mor S occupancies, you may note "Provide a
'Carlsbad 07-0495
3/5/.07,
sign on or near the exit door, reading THIS DOOR TO REMAIN UNLOCKED DURING
BUSINESS HOURS." This signage is only allowed at the main exit. Section 1003.3.1.8.

As shown above, the materials stored within all of the above mentioned storage systems are
treated as High Hazard Commodities.
Per UFC 8101.5.2, the designation of a high-piled combustible storage area, or portion
thereof, is allowed to be based on a lower hazard class than that of the highest class of
commodity stored when a limited quantity_ of the higher hazard commodity has been
demonstrated by engineering analysis to be adequately protected by the sprinkler system
provided. The engineering analysis shall consider the ability of the sprinkler system to
deliver the higher density required by the higher hazard commodity. The higher density
shall be based on the actual storage height of the pile or rack and the minimum allowable
design area for sprinkler operation as set forth in the density/area figures provided in UFC
Standards 81-1 and 81-2. The contiguous area occupied by higher-hazard commodity shall
not exceed 120 square feet, ~nd additional areas of higher-hazard commodity shall be
separated from other such areas. by 25 feet or more. The sprinkler system shall be capable
of delivering the higher density over a minimum area of 900 square feet for wet pipe
systems and 1,200 square feet for dry pipe systems (Attachment #3).
Per CFC Table 81-A (Attachment tu), the following requirements apply to the high-piled
