12 The water-resistive barrier shall be 60-minute Grade D paper or have a water resistance equal to or greater than one layer of a water -resistive barrier complying with ASTM E2556, Type II. The water -resistive barrier shall be separated from the stucco by a layer of foam plastic insulating sheathing or other non -water- absorbing layer, or a designed drainage space with a drainage efficiency of not less than 90 percent, as measured in accordan ce with ASTM E2273 or Annex A2 of ASTM E2925. [CRC R703.7.3.2(2)]

The entire building is wrapped in Class 1 polyethylene (Tyvek) @ walls or bituminous membrane @ roofing over the wood framing and plywood sheathing, which exceeds the use of the lesser building paper.

The 16 ga galvanized cap flashing is waterproof, not merely water -resistive.

The horizontal surface is sloped @ 1/4"/ft and is incidental @ 5.6 sf .

The affected area is limited to the triangular sliver highlighted in the Site Plan (A-1.2) as shown directly below.

Site Plan, A-1.2

The Wall Section @ Partial Rated Wall (1/A-5.2) treats the incidental horizontal surface in the same way as the parapet coping.

Weep screeds are always used at the bottom edge of cement plaster, which i s necessary for the edge finish in addition to shedding moisture, known to all licensed plaster contractors.

The vertical leg of the weep screed is placed between the plywood and the framing and is contiguous with its adjacent edges, so it will not show where superimposed at 1 ½” = 1’-0” scale.

See (1/A-5.2) directly below.

4. This property is in Fire zone 2 and is required to comply with the Wildland Urban Interface. Provide details and specifica tions showing that the proposed exterior wall covering or wall assembly shall be ma terials that are noncombustible, ignition -resistant, heavy timber construction, the exterior portion of a 1 -hour fire resistive wall assembly or comply with SFM Standard 12 -7A-1. [CRC R337.7.3] PC2: The referenced notes on Sheet A -5.1 contain out-of-date references and indicate the use of fiber cement siding, however, the remainder of the drawings indicate that the structure is to be finished with asphalt shingles. Revise the drawings to coordinate the proposed design an d demonstrate compliance with the applicable standards, including justification of the use of a roofing material as a wall covering, if applicable.

See Wall Section (A-5.1), Notes, directly below.
1 COMPOSITION MINERAL -SURFACE ROLL & SHINGLE ROOFING SHALL BE CLASS A FIRE, ASTM E108.
2 FIBER CEMENT SIDING & CLADDING SHALL BE NON -COMBUSTIBLE/ INCOMBUSTIBLE, ASTM E 84 -99, UBC CLASS 1, NFPA CLASS A. 3 METAL VENTING LOUVERS OR PERFORATED METAL SHALL
PROVIDE CONTINUOUS 1/4" METAL MESH ON BACKSIDE.

Specifications received from Berkeley exceed the requirements of CRC R337.7.3, which in turn are not required for CEBC Repair, which may use specifications per CEBC SECTION 403 FIRE PROTECTION . “403.1 General. Repairs shall be done in a manner that maintains the level of fire protection provided .”

14 On the roof, a layer of bituminous roll composition @ ¼”/ft slope underlies the asphalt shingle , so the shingle does not require its typical slope and provides multiple fire -resistive layers.

The non-combustible fiber cement cladding is used on the under side of soffit framing created by the negative volume subtracted from the rectilinear massing in the southwest corner.

See Exterior Perspective (1/ A-0.1) directly below.

15 Ronda Vista, Los Angeles (1992 )

The future stair shows u p only on Floor Plan (A-2.4) and Exterior Elevations (A -3.2) in dashed line shown directly below.

Dashed line is used in Construction Documents to represent features that either existed in the past or will exist in the futu re.

It is impossible to build fro m dashed lines alone.

The large number of details necessary for construction of the stair are not necessary for this phase of work.

The future stair is not used for the building Repair protection and weather -proofing.

Postponing the stair also allows great er building security by inhibiting access to construction enhancements.

All work that is not necessary for protection and inspections are phased using separate permits, as would necessary electrica l, mechanical, fire sprinklers and utilities phases.

This permit application is intended for the expeditious protection of the Repair from seasonal weather and vandalism.

We do not find that Berkeley has the authority to cause further d amage to the SFR by inaction, excessive process or the withholding of allowances in the Title 24 Codes.

As with all Code applications, “not -the-way-we-do-it” comments are not the Code.

The Code is the Code.

If Berkeley “may” allow ph asing in advance of permitting, we find it requires only asking for the exception.

6. PC2: The mechanical and electrical drawings appear to show an interconnecting door between the two bathrooms; however, thi s opening is not shown on the architectural drawings. Please revise the drawings as ne cessary to coordinate the proposed design. CRC 106.1.1]

The pocket door between the baths is optional and does not affect any other work.

Its inclusion alerts contractors to keep wiring or piping clear of this area.

CRC 106.1.1 Information on Construction Documents does not constrain the inclusion of alternative solutions.

7. PC2: The drawings inconsistently depict the installation of a roof deck. Please revise the drawings to coordinate the proposed design by removing the roof deck or providing complete plans, details, and specifications demonstrating that the proposed design with comply with all applicable provisions including structural adequacy, access, egress, fall protection, lighting, electrical outlets, etc. [CRC 106.1.1]

Window & Door Schedule, A -6.1

9. PC2: Section 2 on Sheet A-5.2 depicts an opening in the exterior wall with soffit covered in horizontal grating. Please revise the drawings to clarify how the proposed design will comply with weather protection from wind driven rains as applicable to walls and/or roofs. [CRC R703.1 and R903.1 ]

The Mechanical (Utility) Well is an exterior space with a single -unit exterior heat pump and floor drain for incidental weather conditions.

The R703.1 requirement for a “weather-resistant exterior wall envelope” is provided throughout.

The R903.1 “roof assembly” includes multiple layers as noted previously above and galvanized metal coping at all parapets.

The grating, which drains to the Well , allows limited weather into this space, which then runs to the collective subterranean roof drainage, which then drains to the unimproved Cedar St at the north end.

The soffit is the underside of the floor framing, not the framing 2’-0” below, which carries the metal grating.

The soffit is sheathed in fiber cement panels as noted previously above, while the base of the negative space receives the metal grating.

All exposed wood framing in this area is pressure -treated and painted for its exterior location.

Architecturally, the soffit and void are lighting features that provide a necessary sculptural element that gives inflection to the otherwise rectilinear box volume.

See Building Section (1/A-4.1) directly below.

See Electrical Plans (3/E-2.1) directly after below.

10. PC2: Revise the drawings to specify the minimum required roof slope(s) as required for the specific roofing material proposed. [CRC R905.1]

See Floor & Roof Plans (A -2.4), Notes, provided previously above.

“2

LOW SLOPE ASPHALT SHINGLE IS USED AS FINISHED ROOF MATER IAL, NOT AS OCCUPIED ROOF SURFACE. RAILING NOT REQUIRED.
3 PROVIDE 1/4":12" MIN SLOPE FOR ALL ROOFING PLANES & FACETS.”

See Wall Sections provided previously above for layered roofing using both R905.1.1 “underlayment ” and asphalt shingles.

The low slope composition roofing provides the weather-resistance, while the asphalt shingles are both redundant and aesthetic.

The use of the same exterior material for both the walls & roof provides the preferred monolithic appearance.

22 provide a complete load path capable of transferring loads from their poin t of origin to the load-resisting elements. Please note that the shear wall lengths specified on the drawings do not correspond to the lengths of wall available based on the size of the building and available walls. [CBC 1604.1 and 1604.4]

The calculations are correct.

CEBC does not require any structural calculations per 401.2 Compliance and 405.2.1 Repairs above.

CRC could be utilized as an enhancement, but its standard and simplified methods tend to produce aesthetically heavy -handed buildings.

In this case, CBC was utilized as the enhancement as the existing SFR used only wood braced frames, not shear walls.

Note that the building skin is 3/8” exterior -grade plywood nailed directly to the studs, so additional shear strength is provided throughout.

Extensive new shear walls (SW @ L’) are shown on Framing Plans (S -3.2) directly below.

Framing Plans, S-3.2

2. PC2: Materials that are reused shall comply with the requirements of this code for new materials. As the existing materials h ave been damaged due to exposure to the elements, there exists a reasonable doubt as to the stability or load -bearing capacity of the existing structure, or portion thereof. Please revise the drawing notes to specify that all damaged and/or exposed sawn lumber must be removed and replaced unless reinspected and grade marked by an inspection agency that has been approved by an accreditation body that complies with DOC PS 20 or equivalent. [CBC 104.9 and 2303.1.1]

Again, CEBC and CGBC do not require any restriction on the reuse of materials per CEBC 401.2 Compliance, CEBC 405.2.1 Repairs and CGBC 5.401.1 Scope above.

All framing material will be continuously inspected by the Architect and approved for tentative use.

Existing framing members will then employ “ganging” (sometimes ca lled “sistering”) to create redundancy, with new framing

23 members fastened to every individual existing member.

The entire building will then be tarped and fumigated, assuring that any hidden damage in existing members is resolved.

3. PC2: The drawings depict cantilevered canopy roofs and door landings at either end of the structure. However, the design of these elements is inco mplete and depicted inconsistently on the plans, details, and building sections. Please revise the drawings to coordinate the design and provide complete details and specifications of construction. [CRC R106.1.1]

The Entry Canopies are non -structural, supporting only their own weight.

Canopies are sufficiently detailed in the Architectural and Structural Wall Sections.

The sheet metal cap is supported by cantilever of the steel PL x 3/8”, which is ½” lag bolted @ 16 to adjacent wall framing and blocking or 2-2X 12 roof joists.

See Framing Plans (1 & 2/S-3.2), Wall Section (1/A-5.1) and Wall Section (1/S-5.1) directly below.

The landing uses the simple eave -type cantilever of 4 x 12 each side i n the Floor Framing to a perpendicular 4 x 12 at the backspan extent.

This framing only supports the 3’ x 6’ landing.

The future stair (shown in dashed line) is concrete on -grade, so delivers no additional load to the landing.

4. PC2: The architectural drawings show multiple roof planes; however, the structural drawings only show and detail a single slo pe shed roof. Please revise the drawings to coordinate the proposed design and provide complete details and specifications of construction. [CRC R106.1.1]

There are only two planes in the roof sheathing.

The primary plane spans transversely east -west, framed with low-slope joists and sheathed with plywood over the entire roof surface as diaphragm.

A subordinate plane (cricket) in the northwest corner forms the valley that carries rainwater to the roof drain & overflow.

The subordinate plane is built with ripped sleepers on top of the primary sheathing, then sheathed again over the sleepers.

See Roof Plan (2/A-2.4) directly below.

5. PC2: Please revise the drawings to provide complete details and specifications for the construction of the underfloor soffit framing depicted in Section 2 on Sheet A-5.2. Provide supporting calculations demonstrating that the proposed design is adequate to resist design loads. [CRC R106.1.1 and CBC 1604.4]

The portion of the existing cripple wall on the west side is supp lanted by the new beams and columns (posts) which are much stronger than the existing rim header and studs.

See Calculation (S-5.01, Column D-2).

The worst-case post itself can resist axial 11,331 # in response to the load of 1,680 #.

Again, CEBC and CGBC do not require more than the existing strength per CEBC 401.2 Compliance, CEBC 405.2.1 Repairs and F. Damage and Reconstruction. 2. Damage Less than 50 Percent, as stated above.

We have added non-combustible fiber cement over plywood to the soffit framing as similar to eave boxing.

The newly created cavities between the joists are R -19 insulated as throughout (1/-A-5.2).

See Wall Section 2/A-5.2 above.

6. PC2: Columns and beams supporting vertically discontinuous lateral force resisting elements of irregular structures shall hav e the design strength to resist the maximum axial force that can develop in accordance with the load combinations with the overstrength coefficient, Ω0, of ASCE-7 12.4.3.2. The connections of such elements to the supporting members shall be adequate to transmit the forces for which the discontinuous elements were re quired to be designed. [ASCE-7

12.3.3.3]

Enhancements to the co nstruction do not trigger CBC, CRC or ASCE.

7. PC2: For structures assigned to Seismic Design Category D, E or F, the redundancy factor, ρ, shall equal 1.3 unless it can be shown that conditions have been met which permit the redundancy to be taken as 1.0 . [ASCE-7 12.3.4.2]

Again, CEBC and CGBC do not require more than the existing strength basis per CEBC 401.2 Compliance, CEBC 405.2.1 Repairs and F. Damage and Reconstruction. 2. Damage Less than 50 Percent. as stated above.

Enhancements to the constructio n do not trigger CBC, CRC or ASCE.

8. PC2: Detail 25 on Sheet S-6.1 depicts structural work which, in addition to inspection by the City of Berkeley, requires special inspection. However, i t is not clear if this detail applies to the project. Please remov e this detail or, If applicable, prior to permit issuance for this project, the applicant responsible for the project shall submit signed copy of the City of Berkeley Special Inspection form; this form and a list of approved agencies are available a t the Permit Service Center. Please note that this form must be completely filled -out and signed by all parties as a condition of approval prior to permit issuance. [CBC 1704.2.3]

25/S-6.1 is an alternate detail for the exposed columns in the West Elevation, which has been replaced with simplified 4 x 4 posts, whose structurally adequacy is noted above.

These extend from the underside of the floor framing down to the fo undation sole as typically framed.

Alternate details are utilized in cases where unforeseen con ditions exist, providing a ready- made replacement.

Special inspections may be u tilized if phasing is necessary.

See 25/S-6.1 removed directly below.

31 structure.

a. If applicant proceeds with the Use Permit entitlement application, please review the use permit link for the application inst ructions under “Apply For A Use Permit”

See all pages 1-8 above, Introduction to Conclusion.

Project requires only a Zoning Certificate.

b. Please also note that through the setback determination as shown on page 5 of the Zoning Determination, the setbacks are show n for the irregular shaped lot and the new structure will need to comply with the setback requirements of the Residential Single -Family Hillside Overlay Zoning District, as provided in BMC Section 23.202.050(D)(2).

The building footprint and related setbacks are lawful nonconforming conditions by right per pages 1-8 above.

Current setbacks would only apply to a new structure, such as an ADU.

And ADU has been designed and will be proposed in a subsequent phase.

The existing SFR and the ADU are identical in size @ 750 sf, so t he SFR could become the ADU (with the lesser required setbacks) and visa-versa.

c. The plan submissions for the Use Permit Entitlement Application will need to show the demolition diagrams in elevation view a nd there will be no credit for re-use of building materials from the existing residence.

See all pages 1-8 above, Introduction to Conclusion.

Project requires only a Zoning Certificate.

d. Per BMC Section 23.322.030(A)(1), for properties located near a roadway less than 26 feet in width in the hillside ove rlay, one off street parking space is required per unit.

The existing SFR does not require parking as none was originally per lawful nonconforming by right .

Cedar St is 30’ wide, not 26’ , but new parking will be provided during the ADU construction phase.

See current Site Plan for the completed project directly below, not submitted in the SFR Construction Document set.

3. The reproduction quality of the drawings provided for plan check is inadequate because the drawings are improperly scaled, lightly rendered (pink font color), and/or difficult to read. Please provide clean clear drawings with dark lines and easily legible text that is a minimum ⅛ inch high. [CRC R106.1.1]
PC2: A hard copy of the approved drawings will be required to be on site for all City inspections. The requirements outlined above are necessary so that the drawings available to the Building Inspector will be of sufficient clarity without the benefit of digital manipulation. Additionally, the digital files must be produced at the intended printed page size for the drawings to be scalable. Currently the drawings provided for review are intended for physical reproduction on 24x36 inch sheets, but the pdf document sheets are sized 11x17 inches.

PC3: This item was not addressed as no new drawings were provided for review.

4. PC2: Please review and revise the drawing index provided as required to accurately reflect the contents of the drawing sets, including plans prepared by others. Revise the documents to provide a unique identifier for each sheet. [CBC 107.2.1 and CRC R106.1.1]
PC3: Sheet S-1.1 and S-2.2 listed in the drawing index were not included in the set and there were two sheets identified as S-3.1. This item was not addressed as no new drawings were provided for review.

5. PC2: The City of Berkeley requires survey verification for any building, or modification of a building footprint or envelope, occurring within 12 inches of the point at which fire rated construction is required, opening limitations apply or the property line. Please provide the following or similar note on the site plan: [CRC R106.2] Prior to foundation inspection and pouring of concrete, provide a letter prepared by a California licensed land surveyor stating that “...the new structure is located in accordance with the approved plans.”
PC3: Please revise the drawings to include a reference copy of the existing survey to support the proposed recess of the wall along Grid Line 3 as required to provide an adequate fire separation distance for the proposed window openings.

6. PC3: The plan check responses make multiple references to record 22TMP- 028856. TMP records are not permits, they are placeholders for tracking client applications prior to submittal to Building and Safety so that if the permit application process is interrupted the applicant is not required to start the process over. The record indicated was never submitted to Building and Safety, no fees were paid, and no permit was issued. Any work proposed under 22TMP- 028856 is not valid and cannot be used as a basis for code compliance under this permit application.

1. It appears that the scope of work includes newly framed walls, however, all walls are currently shown the same on the plans. Provide a construction legend and visual means of clearly distinguishing between existing walls to be removed, existing walls to remain and new walls. Identify bearing walls and non-bearing walls. [CRC R106.1.1] PC2: Many of the walls identified on the plans as existing have either been removed under permit application B2013-04915 or destroyed due to exposure to the elements. In particular the wall(s) at the main level on Grid Line 3 are completely gone but this condition is inconsistently depicted across the existing, demolition, architectural, structural, electrical, and mechanical plans. Please revise the drawings to reflect the existing and proposed conditions.

PC3: This item was not addressed as no new drawings were provided for review.

2. Revise the drawings to visually identify and detail exterior wall assemblies tested for fire-resistance in accordance with ASTM E119, UL 263, or CBC 703.3 with exposure from both sides at locations with less than 5 feet of fire separation distance. [CRC R302.1]
PC2: The proposed fire-resistance rated wall assembly utilizes concrete stucco finishes, however, this is not reflected on the building exterior elevations. Additionally, please revise the stucco wall assembly details to demonstrate compliance with marine climate drainage requirements: [CRC R703.7.3.2]
a. Provide two layers of 10-minute Grade D paper or have a water resistance equal to or greater than two layers of a water-resistive barrier complying with ASTM E2556, Type I with flashing installed in accordance with CRC R703.4 and intended to drain to the water-resistive barrier shall be directed between the layers. A space or drainage material not less than 3/16 inch in depth shall be added to the exterior side of the water-resistive barrier. [CRC R703.7.3.2(1)] b. The water-resistive barrier shall be 60-minute Grade D paper or have a water resistance equal to or greater than one layer of a water-resistive barrier complying with ASTM E2556, Type II. The water-resistive barrier shall be separated from the stucco by a layer of foam plastic insulating sheathing or other non-water-absorbing layer, or a designed drainage space with a drainage efficiency of not less than 90 percent, as measured in accordance with ASTM E2273 or Annex A2 of ASTM E2925. [CRC R703.7.3.2(2)]
PC2: Please revise the drawings to provide a single consistent design reflected throughout. If stucco finishes are proposed, provide documentation demonstrating that the proposed assembly will comply with underlayment and drainage layer requirements or is exempt. Please note that if the documentation provided is based on specific proprietary products, the manufacturer and product type must be specified on the drawings.

Revise the drawings to coordinate the proposed design and demonstrate compliance with the applicable standards, including justification of the use of a roofing material as a wall covering, if applicable.

PC3: This item was not addressed as no new drawings or supporting documents were provided for review.

5. Revise the drawings to provide details and specifications demonstrating that the proposed stairs will comply with the applicable requirements for sizing, clearance, landings, guards, handrails and illumination. [CRC R311.7] PC2: Applications for phased submittals require prior approval from the City of Berkeley Building Official. Building and Safety does not allow for phased permitting of one- and two-family dwellings. Please revise the drawings to provide complete details and specifications for the full proposed scope of work. [CRC R106.3.3] PC3: The drawings must show that the proposed design will be code compliant which cannot be based on future construction. Each dwelling unit must have a compliant means of egress with access to grade and elevated walking surfaces must have guards. Please remove any future work from the drawings, as future work is not relevant to the currently proposed scope and reduces the clarity of the drawings.
a. The means of egress shall provide a continuous and unobstructed path of vertical and horizontal egress travel from all portions of the dwelling to the exterior of the dwelling at the required egress door.

Re Application B-2024-02077

Response > By-Right

We find that Berkeley plan che ckers have failed to comment on pages 1 -6 of Response Third.pdf, upon which all itemized Review Responses pages 7 -32 are based.

The Introduction and Conclusions in Response Third establish the lawful application of the number of Codes cited as they relate to the Repair of the Building.

We stand by Response Third and its refutation of or compliance with plan checker Comments.

In particular, Berkeley has ignored the cited
By-Right entitlements, which provide the least restrictive Code Path.

Typical Citations for “by-right” application are:

2 “By-right means the ability to be approved without requiring Codes other than those in existence at the time of the earliest permit application…i.e., not current Codes.”

“By-right means a zoning permitting process wherein development may proceed under the zoning in place at time of application without the need for a special permit, variance, zoning amendment, waiver, or other discretionary zoning approval. By-right permitting shall include a Site Plan Review (City) Process specified in (City section of Zoning or other land use control by law), through which the (City) may add reasonable conditions to the site plan but cannot deny the development to proceed. ”

As stated in Response Third, we will begin Repair shortly to protect the building from the forthcoming weather and to prevent Berkeley from further denigration of its lawful condition.

Given Berkeley’s intra nsigence, we expect to be fined.

We are requesting clear instructions on the amount of the fine , how it is calculated and its consequences a s we complete Repair of Framing, at which point we will call for inspections .

Inspections will include Wildfire-Urban Interface Home Hardening.

I have CC’d the City Attorney and Fire Inspection to expedite this clarification.

Notes

1 Temporary Permit # 22TMP 028856 was only filed at the direction of supervisor David Lopez to allow the use of 2019 California Codes prior to the transition to 2022.

2 The < 50% partial demolition referenced in BMC Section 23F.04.010 is not static.

The Code established that < 50% can be demolished every 12 month s, so the partial demolition can always be removing additional material greater than the previous year.

This further refutes Berkeley’s unwillingness to define the partial demolition without incorporating its change over time

The full text of BMC Section 23F.04.010 is:

“ Demolition: A building or enclosed structure shall be considered demolished for the purposes of th is chapter when, within any continuous 12 month period , such building or structure is destroyed in whole or in part or is relocated from one lot to another. For purposes of this Section, destroyed in part means when 50 % or more of the enclosing walls and 50% of the roof are removed. ”

The “and” in this text means that the entire roof may be removed as long as the remaining walls constitute < 50%. 23F.04.010 does not use “or”.

3 The original permits used 2010 CBC per page 3 -4 of Response Third stating on page 3:

1. PC3--A ft
er review of the project plans and the photographs of the existing site, the proposed project constitutes a Demolition, as defined in Berkeley Municipal Code (BMC) Section 23.502.020(D)(2), and creation of a new standing structure requires a Use Permit entitlement application first for the demolition of more than 50 percent or more of the enclosing exterior walls and 50 percent or more of the roof and another use permit is required for the creation of a new and improved structure. a. If applicant proceeds with the Use Permit entitlement application, please review the use permit link for the application instructions under “Apply For A Use Permit” b. Please also note that through the setback determination as shown on page 5 of the Zoning Determination (attached) are shown for the irregular shaped lot and the new structure will need to comply with the setback requirements of the Residential Single-Family Hillside Overlay Zoning District, as provided in BMC Section

23.202.050(D)(2).
c. The plan submissions for the Use Permit Entitlement Application will need to be provided to show the demolition diagrams in elevation view and there will be no credit for re-use of building materials from the existing residence. d. Per BMC Section 23.322.030(A)(1), for properties located near a roadway less than 26 feet in width in the hillside overlay, one off street parking space is required per unit. Please provide this on a site plan drawing.

PC4—There are no entitlem ents under this address. The only record that was able to be found was under PLN2021 -0026, which thoroughly outlines the current front, interior side, and rear setback lot lines. Please address the comments in comment #1.

Additionally, I would like to provide an example for perspective – Taking out lighting from one interior location to another interior location is not a like for like replacement as the new lighting has to adhere to the most current building code requirements. The same goes for exterior bu ilding wall demolition and replacement. This project is constituted as a demolition and will need to follow the Use Permit application requirement.

2. PC3--Additionally, please provide elevations, floor plans, and site plan depicting an existing, proposed, and demolition plan for your project.

PC4: Comment #2 was not addressed. Please provide these items for further review.

Luis B. Lin Address: 373 Thatcher Lane,
Phone: 510-540-7774 City/State/Zip: Foster City, CA 94404

Request:

Determination of required yards for an irregularly-shaped lot.

Background:

The Berkeley Municipal Code (BMC) establishes Front, Rear, and Side Yards for main buildings in Residential Zones based on the locations of the corresponding lot lines. As described below, in the case of an irregularly-shaped lot, the Zoning Officer must determine the front of the lot for purposes of lot frontage and required yards, and designate the required yards.

The subject lot at 2750 Cedar Street is located in the Single-Family Residential District and Hillside Overlay (R-1H), and has frontages on Le Vereda Road and Cedar Street. These street lot lines are separated by a corner lot at 1601 Le Vereda Road. The lot itself is also an irregular shape, with narrow flag portions and a total of 10 lot lines. (See Images #1 and #2)

The Main Building shall be set back from the respective lot lines as follows:

Yard location
Stories (number) Front Rear* Side**
1-3 20 ft. 20 ft. 4 ft.
*See Section 23D.16.070.D.1
**See Sections 23D.16.070.D.2 and D.3
Per BMC 23E.96. 070.C for the Hillside Overlay:

Main buildings shall be set back from the respective lot lines, and separated between one another, as required by the regulations for the underlying District which is combined with the H District, except that such setbacks and building separations may be reduced subject to obtaining an AUP and making the required finding under Section 23E.96.090.B. In addition, yards and building separation shall also be subject to the limitation and exception provisions set forth in Sections 23D.04.030 or 23E.04.030, as the case may be.

Per the Lot Requirements for Residential Districts:

BMC 23D.04.010.D: The shorter of the two intersecting lot lines along the rights-of-way of a corner lot shall be deemed to be the front of the lot for purposes of determining the lot frontage and for yard requirements. In the case of a lot having equal frontage, or in the case of an irregularly shaped lot, the Zoning Officer shall determine the front in such a manner as to best promote the orderly development of the immediate area.

BMC 23D.04.010.E: The Zoning Officer shall designate the front, side and rear yards for main buildings for flag lots and irregular lots, in a manner to best protect light, air and privacy. The yard dimensions shall be as set forth in each District’s provisions.”

Re Application B-2024-02077
2750 Cedar St
(1605 La Vereda Rd)

Response > 02077

1. We find that it is no longe r productive to respond to Berkeley comments , as they are inapplicable and contrary to the California Existing Building Code (CEBC), which governs Cedar.

This review has devolved into a discussion of two entirely different Projects , in which Berkeley comments have become non sequiturs.

Berkeley has repeatedly failed to understand and apply the clear and detailed California Codes.

We are not requesting nor will we be paying $260/hour for more Berkeley errors.

We stand by all Responses as they are and will proce ed according to the submitted Construction Documents with the minor changes noted in our Responses.

2 What we find is a common pattern in most building departments , in which plan checkers tend to repeat what they have done before, rather than actually re-reading the Codes, which then become further distorted over time, like a children’s game of telephone.

The Code is not a children’s game.

The Code is the Code.

Our recommendation is that Berkeley read our responses again until they are understood.

And read CRC APPENDIX AJ EXISTING BUILDINGS AND STRUCTURES which corroborates the CEBC.

We find that it is reasonable to infer that, rather than complete incompetence, it is more likely that the review has been burd ened by political manipulation.

We find that since Berkeley unnecessarily merged the parcels in 2013, Berkeley has imposed conditions on the parcels to make them progressively more difficult to complete development.

To reiterate, yet again, for Berkeley’s short tem memory, the <50% Partial Demolition of the
building was reviewed and approved by Berkeley and was inspected and approved by Berkeley as a <50% Partial Demolition.

All necessary documentation has been provided to establish this legal basis, from which all Code application follows.

After this needlessly convoluted process, we are starting Repair construction.

Berkeley is welcome to inspect the work at our invitation at each phase , but we will use independent inspector s, if necessary.

2. Of course, it could just be incompetence, in which plan checkers are just copying and pasting random comments from the master list in order to make comments as loquacious as possible.

And, apparently, they need to learn how to zoom in and out.

Mr. Shah,
Although your review status now says, “Comment: Reset due to resubmittal”, you approved the Repair twice before your current comments.

Are you aware that Cedar St is 2:1 unimproved east of La Vereda?

Mr. Del Toro,
There is no ADU in the Repair reconstruction.

Sincerely,

Michael Tolleson, Architect, C -22075

Land Use Planning Prepared by: Waqar Shah
Application #: B2024-02077 2750 Cedar Street [email protected] Land Use Planning Requirements

Overall, the plan check response does not address the comments provided, and revised construction drawings demonstrating compliance with Title 23 of the City of Berkeley Municipal Code have n ot been submitted for review. Therefore, all previous comments remain in effect.

1. PC4--After review of the project plans and the photographs of the existing site , the proposed project constitutes a Demolition, as defined in Berkeley Municipal Code (BMC) Section 23.502.020(D)(2), and creation of a new standing structure requires a Use Permit entitlement application first for the demo lition of more than 50 percent or more of the enclosing exterior walls and 50 percent or more of the roof and another use permit is required for the creation of a new and improved structure. a. If applicant proceeds with the Use Permit entitlement application, please review the use permit link for the application instructions under “Apply For A Use Permit” b. Please also note that through the setback determination as shown on page 5 of the Zoning Determination (attached) are shown for the irregular shaped lot and the new structure will need to comply with the setback requirements of the Residential Single-Family Hillside Overlay Zoning District, as provided in BMC Section

23.202.050(D)(2).
c. The plan submissions for the Us e Permit Entitlement Application will need to be provided to show the demolition diagrams in elevation view and there will be no credit for re-use of building materials from the existing residence. d. Per BMC Section 23.322.030(A)(1), for properties located near a roadway less than 26 feet in width in the hillside overlay, one off street parking space is required per unit. Please provide this on a site plan drawing.

PC5—There are no entitlem ents under this address. The only record that was able to be found was under PLN2021 -0026, which thoroughly outlines the current front, interior side, and rear setback lot lines. Please address the comments in comment #1.

Additionally, I would like to pro vide an example for perspective – Taking out lighting from one interior location to another interior location is not a like for like replacement as the new lighting has to adhere to the most current building code requirements. The same goes for exterior bu ilding wall demolition and replacement. This project is constituted as a demolition and will need to follow the Use Permit application requirement.

2. PC4--Additionally, please provide elevations, floor plans, and site plan depicting an existing, proposed, and demolition plan for your project.

PC5-Comment #2 was not addressed. Please provide these items for further review.

3. Please note that additional information may be requested upon review of resubmitted items.

Subject: Re: Appeal letter - 2750 Cedar

Mr. Mak,
The purported appeal ﬁled by Mr. Tolleson cites inapplicable sections of the Housing Code; the Notices of Violation, Stop Work Orders, and Administrative Citations at 2750 Cedar are for violations of the Building Code.

With your agreement, the City will construe the appeal as challenging the underlying interpretations of the Building Code by the Building Oﬃcial. BMC 19.28.020, Section 113.1 routes appeals of "orders, decisions, or determinations made by the building oﬃcial relative to the application and interpretation" of the Building Code to the Housing Advisory Commission.

The City intends to conduct an inspection of the property this afternoon. Please respond to conﬁrm that the City has your permission to enter and inspect the property today.

Also, please note that the City has obtained a warrant to enter the property to inspect and abate safety hazards, including the unpermitted construction. That warrant is attached. If you do not complete the demolition of the unpermitted construction today, the City is authorized to enter the property as early as tomorrow, 10/29/2024 and to abate the safety hazards, including by demolishing the unpermitted construction.

Thank you for taking these violations seriously,

Subject 2750 Cedar > Lien Appeal
Re Permit Application B2024-02077
Project Description > Pre-SFR
Code > CRC R105.2 & BMC
Michael Tolleson, Architect
Paul Mak, Structural Engineer, & Ping Mak, Owners
1 2750 Cedar was a 725 square foot, permitted & approved existing, 50% demolished, one-story SFR, as of 2015.

See Addendum 3.

It had received Building permit approval and lacked only payment of permit fees to commence, but stalled under a previous owner.

See Addendum 2.

It remained in its partially demolished condition until it was purchased by my clients in 2022.

During that time, Berkeley found no threat and took no action to improve its vacant and open condition.

Our intention was to rebuild the structure to a state virtually identical to the original, add a new ADU and site work in phases.

Completion and new exterior materials and interior sprinklers would increase its fire-resistivity and provide detailed articulation of all structures.

Our current intention is to submit a Zoning Use Permit for the entire development.

We continue to find that we should be able to rebuild the original SFR exactly By-Right. 2 The heart of this dispute with Berkeley revolves around its failure to allow the use of “CRC R105.2 Work exempt from permit.”
The CRC is the California Residential Code that, in this case, applies to single-family residences and accessory dwelling units.

The CRC has been adopted into the BMC.
of 112

Page 288 of 785 ends

Page 618 ends

Berkeley’s own excerpted publications to educate its community specifically reference the CRC & BMC language.

See Addendum 1.

The language allows “one-story detached accessory structures…not greater than 120 square feet” and “decks not exceeding 200 square feet” exempt from permit.

It does not limit the number of these structures.

We found that the BMC allowed a more efficient means to navigate plan check, where staff disappear or are replaced frequently and review time has no real meaning.

Our solution was to build three of these exempt structures and then join them together once the permit was issued.

We built typical wood frame modules on the existing concrete foundation to CRC R105.2 specifications and separated existing usable wood for reuse in the work to follow.

See Addendum 8.
3 Berkeley has refused to address the use of R105.2, treating the work as if it needed a permit.

The extent of this refusal is severe and has resulted in the demolition, by Berkeley, of all construction.

Every effort was made to communicate in written detail the code applications deployed to all involved.

Only 3 of 12 senior staff even read our responses in preparation for our meetings and correspondence.

In this case, Berkeley’s lack of cooperation includes staff’s refusal to even answer questions.

It is common for plan checkers and inspectors to not entirely understand their own code, particularly the exceptions that establish the fullest intent of the codes.

No living person has memorized the entire California Title 24 codes, but professionals know where to find them.

Most staff and inspectors correct their errors.
4 Similarly, we have had Berkeley Building inspectors tell us that a temporary compromise was approved only to learn the next day that it was not.

We have had inspectors from Berkeley Fire approve us to proceed only to find their position reversed.

We have witnessed Berkeley renege repeatedly on permit approvals without basis. 5 Berkeley now seeks reimbursement for its illegal demolition, misrepresenting in its statements the actual condition of the structure and its legal standing.

The Architect provided “continuous special inspection” and the Engineer provided “periodic inspection”, an enhanced legal process, per CRC Chapter 17, on each day work was underway, subjecting work to the most rigorous standards.

As a compromise during efforts at resolution of the dispute, we even offered to panelize the framing, lay it flat and cover it all with fire-resistive tarps and corrugated metal.

No response, to these resolution offers has ever been forthcoming. 6 The structure was never “unsafe” or a threat of any kind. of 212

Page 289 of 785 ends

Page 619 ends

All of these factual conditions were ignored in the warrant Berkeley secured from the warrant court to such an extent that the warrant is a false document.

The signees and their false statements in the warrant are directly responsible for its illegality. 7 Adding to its disregard for professional evaluation and communication, Berkeley has now sought to inflict a lien on the property, effectively seeking reimbursement for their own errors. 8 We find that the only complaint we are aware of comes from our immediate neighbor, from whom we now expect unstable behavior, such as running around her backyard in her pajamas taking pictures.

This is in spite of the Architect’s designing both her front and rear fences and privacy and view enhancements at no cost.

Her recent actions include her providing access through her property to our property, effectively obstructing legal work and promoting the failure to allow CRC R105.2.

Note that we have positive support from our uphill neighbor, whose view we have cooperatively shared with all impacted neighbors.

See Addendum 9 & 10.

However, we also find that there is evidence that our immediate neighbor has sought to influence the approval process by repeatedly involving a City Councilperson without involvement of the Architect or Owner.

We also find that a Councilperson and City Manager have interjected a bias into the neutral development review process while permit completion was underway.

We consider these actions significant enough for recusal, censure or resignation, although they also support rebuild of the original By-Right.

See Addendum 4, which includes additional Council errors. 9 Berkeley issued notices to us that also ignored CRC R105.2 and the BMC and has recently waived all administrative fines associated with them.

We consider this an admission of error or wrongdoing which weighs in favor of removal of its actions to follow.
10 So then, we find our construction legal by CRC R105.2 and the BMC.

We find that the appropriate response for the Council is nullification of any proposed lien and reimbursement to the Owner for all labor, materials and the professional services of the Architect and Engineer from permit application to the present.

We also request a reestablished extension of 180 days for submittal of revised construction documents from the date of submission.

The extended delays are Berkeley’s responsibility as we have been continuously shuffled through numerous plan checkers and supervisors for years.

The California Title 24 codes are not the mere opinion of interested parties or subject to uninformed interpretations.

The codes are the codes and Berkeley would be well served by acknowledgement of them.

We remain open to questions from City Council and staff or settlement prior to the public appeal hearing.

Hi Laura,
Susan wanted me to let you and the neighbors know that the project has been red flagged. Susan has met with the city manager and will meet with the city manager again on Monday about this project.

However, the owner of the property is allowed to rebuild what was exactly there. By Right. They do not have to notice neighbors if they are not increasing by more than or [sic] 500 (sf).

The plans as they were turned in on June 9th will not be approved. They were the same plans that they turned in in January without any of the changes staff asked for. They are also incomplete. The other thing I noticed is that the plans do not have any indication of what was standing there now, a site plan, or a drawing with the property Ines visible. All of these things are the requirements of plan check, and need to be included in the plans for them to be deemed complete. of 712

So everyone should enjoy their weekend, and know that all of the hell they raised has been heard and Susan and the city are doing everything they can at this point.

It’s a “win” for us. We will update next week. It would be really nice if you and you neighbors sent Susan a short email thanking her for her very quick work on this.

Eysia,

Below please find my responses highlighted in red below to your queries in black re the subject Project.

Preface

1 The SFR is an Existing < 50% partially demolished structure subject only to the 2022 California Existing Building Code (CEBC) and BMC Section 23F.04.10 or earlier editions as allowed.

This has been established with Permit Partial Demolition 13-4915 still noted in the B2014-00236 permit in the Permits record, inspected and approved by Berkeley inspector Greg Brovold.

See attached stamped 4-APPROVAL-PARTIAL DEMO-2750 CEDAR.pdf.

The currently submitted entire Project was approved at that time; see attached 3- APPROVAL ORIGINAL -2750 CEDAR.pdf.

The Project is not a “Remove all but one wall…” existing condition.

See also, Sheet A-2.2 Demolition plans, Demo Calcs and Modified Opening Calcs & Key Notes (Architect’s approval).

2 Per CEBC “401.2 Compliance. The work shall not make the building less complying than it was before the repair was undertaken.” This does not inhibit design that increases the building strength or otherwise complies with current or recent code sections of the

CEBC, CRC, CBC

3 The repaired SFR provides a new Automatic Residential Fire Sprinkler system, which is treated as a deferred permit until after Framing.

See Fire Sprinkler Notes, Sheet A-0.1 and Table R302.1(2) Exterior Walls - Dwellings and Accessory B uildings with Automatic R esidential Fire Sprinkler Protection.

4 See also CEBC “405.2.1 Repairs for less than substantial structural damage. Unless otherwise required by this section, for damage less than substantial structural damage, the damaged elements shall be permitted to be restored to their predamage condition.”

5 The CEBC generally allow s less restrictive application of codes than the CRC and CBC.

Glazing area, for example, may be greater than 20% of the floor area. 6 If Exterior Perspective, West Front, rendering on Sheet A-0.1 does not immediately display, please zoom in -out until viewed.

Administrative

1. Construction documents produced by licensed arch itects are required to be stamped with a wet or digital signature. Prior to permit approval for this project, the applicant responsible for the project shall submit a complete set of final construction documents with all sheets stamped and signed by the licensed individuals in responsible charge of their preparation. [CBPC 5536.1]

CBPC 5536.1.a does not specifically require that every sheet of the Construction Documents be stamped & signed prior to permi t.

Project Notes, Sheet A- 0.1, is stamped & signed as representative for all sheets articulated by the Index of Drawings on the same sheet.

2 This is done to protect the copyright and illegal use of the Construction Documents.

Nonetheless, I have stamped & signed each sheet per Berkeley preference.

2. The valuation of $50,000 as provided by the applicant is substantially understated. Please provide an updated valuation that includ es all work as required per CBC Section 109.3: “Permit valuations shall include total value of work, including materials and labor, for which the permit is being issued, such as electrical, gas, mechanical, plumbing equipment and permanent systems.” The updated valuation will b e considered by the building official; if the updated valuation is not accepted, a minimum valuation will be provided by the building official as authorized by City of Berkeley Resolution 67,047 -N.S.

$50,000 is the same valuation previously approved by Berkeley for B2014-00236, with the same conditions.

The SFR is only 728 sf, so 50,000/728 = $69 /sf, a reasonable valuation for Repair.

There are no foundation costs and most lumber is reused.

I have typically built ground-up (new) Owner/Builder projects at $80/sf to $150/sf over the past 10 years.

See just below @ $80/sf with similar construction and finishes :

Granted, very few Architects can build at this rate.

If Berkeley is bound to apply a higher ratio, please include these mitigating factors.

2022 CRC R106.1.1 requires that drawings be of “sufficient clarity”.

Note that CRC R106.1.1 does not specify 1/8” text, which would only be relevant for printed drawings.

The “scale” (inches:feet) of drawings is not applicable when drawings are digital, as drawings of any scale may be zoomed into or out of for ease of use and readability.

PDF is a vector-based file format, so it does not lose resolution when zoomed.

If you need a hard copy, I can print full-size 24” x 36” sheets, which provide the many scales of the drawings.

Highlighting reflects the most recent version of the Construction Documents.

The highlighted drawings and annotations are used in lieu of revision “clouding”, which burdens the drawings with chaotic graphics and poor

3 readability.

In this Set, I have used black exclusively for the base color for Berkeley and changed the “Revision Color” to red .

Creative Architects are always looking for ways to improve drawings fo r readability and comprehension, including the promotion of digital documentation and its numerous advantages.

Nonstructural

Identify bearing walls and non -bearing walls. [CRC R106.1.1]

Wall types are AEC standard Line Weight Types an d gradation.

Zoom in to see the difference in Line Type s.

The Wall Type is communicated by the difference between one drawing and another.

See Wall Types, A-0.1 and A-2.2 Architectural.

Wall / Partition – Existing or Repaired are Heavy (.7 mm) Unfilled.

Wall / Partition - Removed are Light (.3 mm) Dashed.

Wall / Partition - New is Heavy (.7 mm) Filled.

Wall / Window or Slider - New is Medium (.4 mm).

Wall / Window or Slider - Removed is Medium (.4 mm) and Dashed (3 mm).

See Walls, S-3.1 and S-3.2 for Structural.

Wall /Bearing / Shear (SW) - New is Heavy (.7 mm) Unfilled with SW Length where occurs.

Beam is Heavy (.7 mm) Dot/Dash.

Post is Heavy (.7 mm) Filled.

Joist is Medium (.4 mm).

Non-Bearing Walls are not shown on Struct ural drawings.

Note that Dashed lines may also convey construction above or below.

All other construction is defined by number and leader in the Key Notes on each sheet.

The repaired SFR will provide a new Automatic Residential Fire Sprinkler system, which is treated as a d eferred permit until after Framing.

See Fire Sprinkler Notes A-0.1 and Table R302.1(2) Exterior Walls - Dwellings with Automatic Residential Fire Sprinkler P rotection, exposure one side.
5’ Separation is not applicable

See also special detail Wall Section 1/A-5.2 and, for orientation, Site Plan A-1.2 and Floor Plan A-2.4.

This assembly provides a clever solution to the fire-rating for walls separation < 3’ for the small area at the northwest corner, in which the bottom half of the wall is 1 -hour fire-rating and the geometrically skewed top half is not rated (NR).

This detail Partial-Rated Wall has been previously approved by plan checker Jeff Thomas and supervisor David Lopez.

See Wall Section A-5.1, Notes 1-3:

“Notes
1 Composition mineral-surface roll & shingle roofing shall be Class A fire, ASTM E108. 2 Fiber cement siding & cladding shall be non -combustible/incombustible, ASTM E 84 -99, UBC Class 1, NFPA Class A. 3 Metal venting louvers or perforated metal shall provide continuous 1/4" metal mesh on backside.”

The repaired SFR is one of several phases of work, including a new ADU.

The Entry Stair is annotated as a “Future (F)” el ement.

See:

“CRC R106.3.3 Phased approval. The building official is authorized to issue a permit for the construction of foundations or an y other part of a building or structure before the construction documents for the whole building or structure have been submitted, provided that adequate information and detailed statements have been filed complying with pertinent requirements of this code. The holder of such permit for the foundation or other parts of a building or structure shall proceed at the holder’s own risk with the building operation and without assurance that a permit for the entire structure will be granted. ”

The limited (F) Stair drawings are provided to assist contractors in the correct location of temporary staging.

See Abbreviations A-0.1.

Structural

1. Revise the plans to show that the structure will comply with the bracing requirements of the California Residential Code for the new opening.

Where a building, or portion thereof, does not comply with one or more of the bracing requirements , the construction documents shall be designed, stamped and signed by a California licensed architect or engineer for that irregular or nonconforming portion of wo rk. [CRC R602.10]

The structural design utilizes the CEBC to strengthen during repair by any number of methods.

Rather than using CRC R 602.10 or R602.12, the structure is calculated to comply with the CBC for both vertical and lateral loads at the time of the previous approval B2014 -00236.

This greatly increases the structural resistance of all e lements using continuous wood structural panel sheathing on all floor, wall and roof framing and calculation of all critical posts, beams and joists.

See attached 6-S-CALC-004-2750 CEDAR.pdf.

In addition, under this section CRC R60210 ,Architect -designed, -stamped and -signed Construction Documents may utilize rational alternative solutions.

Electrical

1. Indicate on the construction drawings ground -fault circuit-interrupter protection for outlet receptacles installed in residential bathrooms, at all kitchen counter-tops, laundry rooms, outdoors, crawlspaces or unfinished basements, and where the receptacles are installed within 6 feet of the outside edge of the sink.
