Footnotes:
1Includes binding site plan and commercial building permit.
2Commercial and industrial expansion excludes any interior improvements to an existing structure or remodeling of structures, that does not alter the prominent facade or that portion of a building visible from the public road right-of-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.
3A new structure on a site where there are existing commercial or industrial buildings will be subject to the same standards as a greater than 60 percent value expansion described above.
