SECTION 302A — APPLICATION FOR PERMIT 302A.1 Application. To obtain a permit, the applicant shall first file an application therefor in writing on a form furnished by the Building & Safety Division for that purpose. Every such application shall 1. Identify and describe the work to be covered by the permit for which application is made. 2. Describe the land on which the proposed work is to be done by legal description, street address or similar description that will readily identify and definitely locate the proposed building or work. 3. Indicate the use or occupancy for which the proposed work is intended. 4. Be accompanied by plans, diagrams, computations and specifications, and other data as required in Section 302A.2. 5. State the valuation of the proposed work, based on current labor and material costs. 6. Be signed by the applicant, or the applicant's authorized agent. 7. Give such other data and information as may be required by the Building and Safety Official. 302A.2 Submittal Documents. Plans, specifications, engineering calculations, diagrams, soil investigation reports, special inspection and structural observation programs and other data shall constitute the submittal documents and shall be submitted in three or more sets with each application for a permit. When such plans are not prepared by an architect or engineer, the Building and Safety Official may require the applicant submitting such plans or other data to demonstrate that state law does not require that the plans be prepared by a licensed architect or engineer. The Building and Safety Official may require plans, computations and specifications to be prepared and designed by an engineer or architect licensed by the state to practice as such even if not required by state law. EXCEPTION: The Building and Safety Official may waive the submission of plans, calculations, construction inspection requirements and other data if it is found that the nature of the work applied for is such that reviewing of plans is not necessary to obtain compliance with this code. 302A.3 Information on Plans and Specifications. Plans and specifications shall be drawn to scale on substantial paper and shall be of sufficient clarity to indicate the location, nature and extent of the work proposed and show in detail that it will conform to the provisions of this code and all relevant laws, ordinances, rules and regulations. Where conventional construction provisions are identified in Group R 3 occupancies, all braced wall lines shall be identified on the construction documents and all pertinent information including, but not limited to, bracing methods, location and length of braced wall panels, foundation requirements of braced wall panels at top and bottom shall be provided. Plant for buildings of other than Group R 3 and Group U Occupancies shall indicate how required structural and fire resistive integrity will be maintained where 20
