Footnotes:
1Commercial and industrial expansion excludes any interior improvements to an existing structure, any activity that does not require a building permit, and expansions of buildings that do not alter the prominent facade or that portion of a building visible from the public way. The 60 percent calculation is cumulative over time and is calculated based on the "Building Valuation Data" table compiled by the International Code Council and published in the Building Safety Journal, as used by the Building Official.
2A new structure on a site where there are existing commercial or industrial buildings will be subject to the same standards as a > 60 percent value expansion described above.
C. All regulated activities located within the Upper Nisqually Community Plan area must meet the standards and guidelines contained within this Chapter.
