REVIEW STATUS

04/04/2012 – Initial review (289585).  Comments issued. Wind and seismic review halted.

GENERAL

This review is code compliance review based on the requirements of the International Building Code (IBC), 2009 Edition, and all adopted references thereto, as amended by the Municipality of Anchorage in Anchorage Municipal Code (AMC) Title 23.  This review does not permit the violation of the building codes, nor any federal, state, or municipal regulation.

The following comments must be addressed before a permit may be issued.

1. OCCUPANCY CATEGORY

Refer to Sheets G020, S101.  The architectural plans note the occupancy based on non-separated use, with Group A-2 occupancy as the governing type.  The calculated occupant load is greater than 300 and qualifies as an Occupancy Category III structure.  The structural design assumes Occupancy Category II.  Given the increase in importance factor from Category II to III, a revised structural analysis is required to address the suitability of the proposed design.

Unless the architectural code study is updated to specifically denote that the primary occupancy is not Group A, no further review of the wind and seismic design can be done until such time as the revised analysis is provided.
