A-310-02Bedroom 2’s only escape window gives about 5.0 sq ft of clear opening. A ground-floor sleeping room has to let someone climb out in a fire — that takes 5.7 sq ft.
Page 7 · A2.1“Bedroom 2 — window 3′0″ × 2′0″ (egress?)”
What it means for you
If there were a fire, someone could be trapped in this room. The city will not issue the permit until the window is enlarged — and it’s a life-safety item, so there’s no negotiating it.
How to fix it
Increase the openable area of the Bedroom 2 window to at least 5.7 sq ft (5.0 sq ft is allowed only for a grade-floor opening), and note the clear opening dimensions on A2.1.

S-2304-01The 24-ft beam carrying the great-room roof has no size, species, or grade called out — so nobody can confirm it actually carries the load.
Page 19 · S2.0“BM-3 (24′-0″) — (size?)”
What it means for you
A plan checker can’t approve a structural member they can’t verify. This will come back as a correction asking you to size it, which is a wasted review cycle if you submit as-is.
How to fix it
Add the beam’s size, species, and grade to the framing schedule on S2.0 — e.g., 5¼″ × 18″ glulam, 24F-V4 — and confirm the bearing at each end.

EN-T24-01The Title 24 energy-compliance paperwork (the CF1R) isn’t in the set. California won’t permit new conditioned space without it.
Sheet index · A0.0“No energy compliance sheet present”
What it means for you
Submitting without the energy forms guarantees a correction and a delay — intake often catches this before a reviewer even opens the structural sheets.
How to fix it
Include the signed CF1R (performance or prescriptive) covering the added conditioned floor area, and reference it on the cover sheet.

G-107-04The sheet labeled “Site Plan” is a screenshot of an online map. A site plan has to show property lines, setbacks, and dimensions, drawn to scale.
Page 2 · A0.1““Site Plan” — raster map image, no scale”
What it means for you
Intake can reject the whole submittal as incomplete before it ever reaches a reviewer — the single fastest way to lose a week.
How to fix it
Replace it with a to-scale site plan showing lot dimensions, all required setbacks, the structure footprint, and a north arrow.
