Tenant Improvements
Design Assistance Bulletin #9
There are several departments and agencies that are tasked with review of tenant
improvement permits. Projects are reviewed for compliance with building, fire traffic and
zoning codes. We understand that time is important to our customers and accordingly have
developed the following list of items that must be provided with your application. Our goal is
to process your permit expeditiously. The timeliness of our review is directly proportionate to
the quality and quantity of the information you provide.
? A completed permit application.
? Commercial Building Permit Application Checklist
? A site plan drawn to standard engineering scale. Site plans must show at a
minimum:
1. A vicinity map;
2. Property boundaries and easements;
3. Each building on the property (including fences and signs);
4. Distance between each building;
5. Distance from buildings to property lines;
6. Parking layout including an analysis demonstrating minimum parking is provided;
7. Location of fire hydrants on the property and within 300' of the proposed tenant
space;
8. Landscaping, both existing and proposed.

detailing the following items:
1. Floor plan of the entire building that the tenant space is in. In most cases the only
information needed for spaces not included in the tenant improvement will be the
occupancy classification and the square footage of each separate tenant of the
building;
2. Detailed construction drawings for the tenant space. Drawings at a minimum
should include; floor plans, wall sections, reflected ceiling plans, sprinkler system
drawings and calculations (in sprinklered buildings) and energy code
calculations;
3. Please note that for buildings exceeding 4,000 square feet in size, the plans must
be prepared by an architect or engineer registered in the State Of Washington.
The 4,000 limitation applies to the building as a whole irregardless of the size of
the tenant space.
