1Includes Commercial Building Permits.

2Applies when required by the underlying use (e.g., a commercial use requiring a use permit is subject to the design review types applicable to commercial uses at the time of use permit submittal).

3Building design review is not required for mobile home parks.

4Commercial and industrial expansion excludes any interior improvements to an existing structure. 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.

5A 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.
