FOREWORD (PLEASE READ):
This plan review is limited to the technical requirements contained in the California version of
the International Residential Code, International Building Code, Uniform Plumbing Code,
Uniform Mechanical Code, National Electrical Code and state laws regulating energy
conservation, noise attenuation and access for the disabled. This plan review is based on
regulations enforced by the Building Department. You may have other corrections based on
laws and ordinance by the Planning Department, Engineering Department, Fire Department or
other departments. Clearance from those departments may be required prior to the issuance of
a building permit.
Present California law mandates that construction comply with the 2016 edition of the California
Code of Regulations (Title 24), which adopts the following model codes: 2015 IRC, 2015 IBC,
2015 UPC, 2015 UMC and 2014 NEC.

The following items listed need clarification, modification or change. All items must be satisfied
before the plans will be in conformance with the cited codes and regulations. Per Sec. 105.4 of
the 2015 International Building Code, the approval of the plans does not permit the violation of
any state, county or city law.
To speed up the recheck process, please note on this list or a co where each
correction item has been addressed i.e.. plan sheet number, specification section etc.

footing sizes, depths, reinforcing, slab thickness, reinforcing, underlayment, etc.
are specified on the plans.
4. Provide a letter from the soils engineer confirming that the foundation plan,
grading plan and specifications have been reviewed and that it has been
determined that the recommendations in the soils report are properly
incorporated into the construction documents (if required by the soil report).
5. Provide detailing on the plans to show veneer attachment to the stud walls, in
accordance with the provisions of Section R703.7.
6. Note on plans that surface water will drain away from building and show drainage
pattern. The grade shall fall a minimum of 6" within the first 10 feet. Sec. R401.3.
7. Where detail 25/SD1 is referenced, please specify "A" or "B"_condition.
8. Please specify typical stud size and spacing.
9. Provide truss details and truss calculations for this project. Specify truss
identification numbers on the plans. The City of La Quinta does not allow
deferred submittals.
10. Truss hangers should be called out in truss packet.
11. Please provide evidence that the engineer -of -record (or architect) has reviewed
the truss calculation package prepared by others (i.e., a "review" stamp on the
truss calculations or a letter). CBC Section 107.3.4.1.
12. Please provide a connection detail for beams 36 and 46 to the HSS column.
13. Is a drag strap needed at B65?
14. Keynote 1 which is referenced where B9 supports GTB53 does not seem to fit.

MEMORANDUM
TO: All Structural Plan Reviewers, Other Inter fed Parties
FROM: Greg Butler, Building & Safety Manager
DATE: dune 16, 2008
RE; Clarification of CBC Requirements for Soils Reports
As you know and have been enforcing, most construction projects require foundation
and soils investigations in accordance with CBC Section 1802. Recently, some
exceptionally poor soil conditions have been Identified In several areas of La Quinta. Our
Public Works Department has expressed concems related to test borings where blow
counts In adjacent strata change suddenly from low- to mid-30s to single digit counts at
10- to 30--foot depths. The condition Is exacerbated by dry conditions (single digit
moisture percentages). which Increase the potential for collapse. This raises questions
about the potential for long-term and differential settlement of a structure.
While we do not intend to prescribe a particular methodology, Public Works has advised
me that when expected settlements, as determined by the Schmertmann Layer Analysis
or other common method, exceed 0.75" to 1.00" In a 64-year lifespan, there is cause for
concern that should be addressed by the geotechnical engineer. When these conditions
are found, modifications to overexcavation depth(s) and/or footing designs may be
applicable.
These questions can be addressed better If very early In the review process we Identify
defmioncies in the geotechnical report required by Section 1802.6. At a minimum, the
Code requires that the report include, but need not be limited to, the following
Information:
1. A plot showing the location of test borings and/or excavations.
2. A complete record of the soil samples.
3. A record of the soil profile.
4. Elevation of the water table, If encountered,
5. Recommendations for foundation type and design criteria, including, but not
limited to:
a. Bearing capacity of natural or compacted soil,
b. Provisions to mitigate the effects of expansive soils.
c. Mitigation of the effects of liquefaction.
d. Mitigation of the effects of differential settlement.
e. Mitigation of the effects of varying soil strength.
f. The effects of adjacent loads.
6. Expected total and differential settlement. [emphasis mine]
7. Pile and pier foundation information in accordance with Section 1808.2.2.
8. Special design and construction provisions forfootings and foundations founded
on expansive soils, as necessary,
9. Compacted fill material properties and testing In accordance with Section 1803.5,

Please verify that soils reports contain all of the above inforrnation. In addition, to assure
continuity between the investigation/reporting stage and the execution stage, piease use
the following checklist to verily that the conclusions and recommendations in the report
cover all the required -elements. Only then can we be assured that the construction
documents address all of the site soil conditions.
La Quints Geotechnical Report Checklist
Does the "Conclusions and Recommendations" section of the report address each of the
following criteria?
"Address" means:
(a) the criterion is considered significant and mitigation measure(s) noted, or;
(b) the criterion is considered insignificant and expUcitiy so stated.
Yes
No
Criterion
❑
❑
Foundation criteria based upon bearing capacity of natural or compacted soil.
❑
❑
Foundation criteria to mitigate the effects of expansive soils.
❑
❑
Foundation criteria based upon bearing capacity. of natural or compacted soil.
❑
❑
Foundation criteria to mitigate the effects of liquefaction.
❑
❑
Foundation criteria to mitigate the effects of seismically induced differential
settlement.
❑ ❑ Foundation criteria to mitigate the effects of long-term differential settlement.
❑ ❑ Foundation criteria to mitigate the effects of varying soil strength.
❑ ❑ Foundation criteria to mitigate expected total and differential settlement.
Any "No" answers to the above checklist should be noted as specific required
corrections.
