GGGGG
tie together……
-what counts as a covered multi-family unit?
-do all covered muti-family units need to be on an accessible route
helpful fact…townhouses can be coverd…all covered on 1st foor or elevator floor to be adaptable //EXCPECT code says multi-story units can comply with diff section…
- Definition of Covered Multi-Family housing:
- (3) apt/ (4) condos (fire walls dont count). only ground floor units count in on elev buildings - Definition of Townhouse:
- single family foundation to roof f, own egress, open space 2+ sides, attached - Can a townhouse also be multi-family?
yes–90% sure - (2) apt / (3) condo townhouse
- code version: CRC
- acc version: CRC ….so like none
- acc details: CRC…. so like none - (3) apt / (4) condo townhouse (or more)
- code version: CRC
- acc version: 11a (cause multi-fam)
- acc details: 10% ground floor units acc + powder room - (3) apt / (4) condo, flats, no elev
- code version: CBC
- acc version: 11a
- acc details: all ground floor units 11a adaptable (bc ground = covered) - (3) apt / (4) condo, flats, elev
- code version: CBC
- acc version: 11a
- acc details: all units (bc covered) - (3) apt / (4) condo, multi unit, no elev
- code version: CBC
- acc version: 11a
- acc details: 10% units acc ground floor + power room - (3) apt / (4) condo, multi unit, elev
- code version: CBC
- acc version: 11a
- acc details: all units = acc 1st level + power + kitchen - can mobility units be multi-story…not without its own elevator. all room accessible.
- max stories for 11a building w/o elevator? 4 stores (chapter 10 egress requires one or some tricks for more than 4 stories above level of exit)
- all 11b need an elevator with a few exceptions
- private funds, 2 story
- private funds, 3000 sf max floors
- few other private fund less common - 11B mobility units only apply to the mobility units and spaces serving the unit. so if mobility units are on the ground floor and there are no common spaces above the bld would not need an elevator (the all 11b bld need an elevator does not apply here because its only the mobility units that need to comply with very specific portions of 11 b and an accessible route to those units)

What kind of projects are design professional liens not available on?
single family owner occupied under $100,000 construction cost
Steps to file a mechanics lien?
What is the timing on enforcing the mechanics lien?
- Send Preliminary notice to preserve lien right within 20days of proving labor or material (for everyone except GC and Architect)
- Send owner notice of Mechanics lien (certified mail)
- Record mechanics lien County Recorders office in county of PROJECT (can come immediately after owner notice)
- Enforce mechanics lien file filing a lawsuit to force foreclosure.
FORECLOSURE CORDING timing:
before owner files “notice of cessation”: 90 days
After owner files “notice of cessation”
- 60 days for Prime contracts (and Architect I assume)
- 30 days for subcontractors
LAWSUIT ENFORCEMENT 90 days after filing but can be mutually extended to no more than 1 year

Health and Safety Code:
Air Resources..what does this code section do?
Health and Safety Code:
it gives responsibility to the State Air resource board. and also is where it is specified the regional AQMD are in control of air polution of everything excpet vehicles which are handled by the State Air Resources Board
CCA is under what code:
CEQA is under what code:
Air Resources is under what code:
CCA is under what code: public resource code

California Coastal Act:
Who has permitting authority for most coastal projects?
Who can overturn this?
What types of projects are permitted by a different authority and which authority is that? 5
California Coastal Act:
Local government under the LCP.
The CCC has appeal authority of the local govs
CCC directly permits projects that:
- greatest disrtance of the following…to 1st public road, 300’ from beach edge, 300’ from top edge of bluff, 300’ from mean high tide (because sometimes there is no beach)
- tidelands

State Land Commission stops were at sea?
-on land?
CCC area they deal with directly stops where at sea?
-on land?
State Land Commission stops were at sea? 3 miles
-on land? high tide
CCC stops where at sea? 3 miles
-on land? furthers of 300’ (tide, beach, or bluff) or 1st public road
(not same as coastal zone which goes in more)

CEQA trying to protect:
CCA thing trying to protect:
How big of an “inprovment” on a single family home is too big to be exempt from CCA?
CEQA
- Recreation/open space
- Envi
- Agriculture
- Cultural (historic stuff, buildings, tribes)
- Noise
CCA
- public access, boating
- Envi (sensitive habitats)
- framlands/fisheries
- scenic views
- urban-rural boundaries and industrial sitting..Reduce density grow by reducing land division. cant do land division outside developed area unless 50% of site are already developed and the division cant be any smaller than average for the area.
- protection from coastal hazards
How big of an “improvement” on a single family home is too big to be exempt from CCA? 50% exerior walls removed would be too big or in special zone (300’, road etc)
responsibility of the California Air Resource Board…examples: 4

Big difference between ASTM and UL
AMCA: ASA: IAPMO: IES: AHRI: AISC: APA: ASHRAE: NFRC: SJI
ASTM develops standards for construction materials etc…UL develops and preforms tests (and standards for those tests) as well as safety standards
AMCA: air movement Control Assoc…HVAC…mostly fan testing standards
ASA: Acoustical Society or America
IAPMO: International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Official….make uniform plumbing code, certification, testing
IES Illuminating Engineering Society, standards for lighting
AHRI: Air-Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute. HVAC and water heating, commercial refrigeration standards (also reps these mfg)
AISC: Americal Institute of Stell Construction
APA: engineered wood association
ASHRAE: HVAC
NFRC: national fenestration rating council
SJI: steel joist insititute
