(4 WHEEL PARTS – INTERIOR TENANT IMPROVEMENT – EAST END OF BUILDING) The fire sprinkler system is used for unlimited area of the building. A portion of the mezzanine was demolished under permit BLD17-00543. To remodel an existing 10,908 square foot tenant space (8,945 square foot 1st story and 1,963 square foot mezzanine) for a new retail sales and vehicle service tenant. The installation facility for vehicle service is limited to light-duty installations consisting of tires, wheels, lift kits, and various off-road accessories and bolt-on parts. Work is to include interior nonbearing walls, 2 restrooms accessible to the disabled, interior doors, display shelves, service counter, vehicle lifts, and interior finishes. A separate permit is required for free standing storage racks over 8 feet tall. Except for the restrooms, the hallway serving the restrooms, the ceiling below the mezzanine, and the ceilings above the mezzanine, the ceilings will be exposed to the structure above and painted. The existing suspended acoustical ceiling installed above the mezzanine will remain. A mechanical exhaust system controlled by CO2 sensors will be provided to ventilate the vehicle service area. Sufficient make-up air is required to be available. Steel columns, steel base plates, steel attachment plates, and connections will be installed to resist out-of-plane lateral loads on the North exterior wall. Special Inspection is required for welding and for epoxy anchors. A new 2’-8” wide x 4’-0” high opening will be created in an existing exterior masonry wall to provide a source for make-up air for the exhaust fans serving the vehicle service area. The opening will be reinforced for gravity loads by adding a 4” x 4” x 1/4” angle header on the inside of the wall. The existing masonry wall is expected to have vertical and horizontal rebar that was installed when the wall was constructed. A louver with a gravity intake damper will be installed in the opening. The bottom of the opening will be at 6 feet above the floor and the top will be at 10 feet above the floor. If the cutting of vertical rebar causes the wall’s ability to resist out-of-plane lateral loads to be reduced below what is required by the 2012 IBC, then additional structural elements shall be provided to strengthen the wall. The work is required to comply with the approved drawings, with the plan review report, and with all applicable codes and ordinances. The fire sprinkler system is required to comply with NFPA 13 and the fire alarm system is required to comply with NFPA 72 as regulated by the Fire Department. Separate fire sprinkler permits and fire alarm permits shall be obtained prior to beginning any modification or installation work on such systems. **CJW**
