[OMS_MANAGERS] Monetary Threshold Trigger for Code Updates

[Sheldon Delph]

Sarah Lu Heath, under the Secretary of the Interior's Standards, as well as SHPO rules,  these are negotiable if the building is on the National Register of Historic Places. Check with Joy Sears at SHPO next week.

I recommend you ask someone about where the number is coming from.  I
suspect that it is coming from the Building Code, there are specific
provisions in the Oregon Building Code which deals with the cost of a
building renovation and when the required upgrades kick in.

Hello All,

Here in Astoria we're looking at codes affecting the water front in our
urban core. A proposal put to our planning commission includes a provision
that would require historic property owners to fully bring a building up to
code if they spend more than a certain percentage of value on a project.
Does anyone else have code like this?

Portland is the only town I know of that has a spending threshold that
triggers a full code update.  I believe it is 25% of the building's value.

Does anyone else have code like this?
What percentage of value is your trigger threshold?

Thanks for your help!
Sarah Lu
