(at least two must be signed by designer and/or “wet-signed” and stamped by a State of California licensed architect or engineer); This is to include scaled site plans, “Blueprint for a Clean Bay”, Elevation drawings and a drainage plan. Upon submittal of plans, these will be distributed to the Building Inspection Division, Planning Division, Public Works Department, Fire Department, and Structural review will be outsourced.

Three (3) sets each 8-1/2x11 “wet-signed” and stamped Structural Calculation Reports; & Geotechnical Reports; with a letter of Foundation Design Review.

Three (3) sets 8-1/2x11 of Title 24 Energy Reports/Calculations.

West Valley Sanitation District (WVSD) collects

infrastructure, water and sewer fees for new construction. Payment of these fees must be made prior to permit issuance. A WVSD issued permit labeled “Copy for Building Department” should be brought in to Building Inspection Division. Please contact WVSD at (408) 378-2407 for their fee estimate.

Santa Clara County Fire Department per CRC2010 R313.2 all new and two story family dwellings will require fire sprinkler systems. Contact SCCFD for submittal requirements at (408) 378-4010.

Other Permit Requirements

A separate plan/permit is required for items such as, but not limited to: pools/spas, accessory structures, retaining walls, fire sprinkler systems, and demolition of existing buildings.

Article 1.4. Installation of Water Use Efficiency Improvements …….. 1101.1 – 1101.8

The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:

(a) Adequate water supply reliability for all uses is essential to the future economic and environmental health of

California.

(b) Environmentally sound strategies to meet future water supply and wastewater treatment needs are key to

protecting and restoring aquatic resources in California.

(c) There is a pressing need to address water supply reliability issues raised by growing urban areas. (d) Economic analysis by urban water agencies has identified urban water conservation as a cost-effective

approach to addressing water supply needs.

(e) There are many water conservation practices that produce significant energy and other resource savings that

should be encouraged as a matter of state policy.

(f) ) Since the 1991 signing of the "Memorandum of Understanding Regarding Urban Water Conservation in

California," many urban water and wastewater treatment agencies have gained valuable experience that can be

applied to produce significant statewide savings of water, energy, and associated infrastructure costs. This

experience indicates a need to regularly revise and update water conservation methodologies and practices.

(g) ) To address these concerns, it is the intent of the Legislature to require that residential and commercial real

property built and available for use or occupancy on or before January 1, 1994, be equipped with water-conserving

plumbing fixtures.

financing mechanisms, and funding to assist property owners with these retrofit obligations.

and available for use on or before January 1, 1994.

For the purposes of this article: (a) "Commercial real property" means any real property that is improved with, or consisting of, a building that is

building containing more than one unit that is intended for human habitation, or any mixed residential-commercial

residential hotels but does not include hotels and motels that are not residential hotels.

(c) "Noncompliant plumbing fixture" means any of the following:

(1) Any toilet manufactured to use more than 1.6 gallons of water per flush.

(2) Any urinal manufactured to use more than one gallon of water per flush.

(3) Any showerhead manufactured to have a flow capacity of more than 2.5 gallons of water per minute.

(4) Any interior faucet that emits more than 2.2 gallons of water per minute.

(d) "Single-family residential real property" means any real property that is improved with, or consisting of, a

building containing not more than one unit that is intended for human habitation.

(e) "Water-conserving plumbing fixture" means any fixture that is in compliance with current building standards

applicable to a newly constructed real property of the same type.

(f) ) "Sale or transfer" means the sale or transfer of an entire real property estate or the fee interest in that

real property estate and does not include the sale or transfer of a partial interest, including a leasehold.

(a) On and after January 1, 2014, for all building alterations or improvements to single-family residential real

property, as a condition for issuance of a certificate of final completion and occupancy or final permit approval by

operating at the manufacturer's rated water consumption at the time that the tenant takes possession. A tenant shall

be responsible for notifying the owner or owner's agent if the tenant becomes aware that a water-conserving

plumbing fixture within his or her unit is not operating at the manufacturer's rated water consumption. The owner

or owner's agent shall correct an inoperability in a water-conserving plumbing fixture upon notice by the tenant or

if detected by the owner or the owner's agent.

property and any commercial real property shall be replaced with water-conserving plumbing fixtures in the

postponed for one year from the date of issuance of a demolition permit for the building. If the building is

demolished within the one-year postponement, the requirements of this article shall not apply. If the building is not

demolished after the expiration of one year, the provisions of this article shall apply, subject to appeal to the local

building department, even though the demolition permit is still in effect or a new demolition permit has been

issued.
