<p class="MsoPlainText">Some of this may be driven by the National Flood Insurance Program. You stated that the City is looking at code changes affecting the water front. I’d guess a good portion of the water front is in the 100-year floodplain.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">The NFIP requires that if a building in the floodplain is repaired or improved at a cost of 50% of the value of the structure prior to improvement or the damage, that it must be upgraded to meet the flood standards. The definition of
"substantial improvement" in our code (based on the requirements of the NFIP) is<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">You are likely to find a similar definition in many local codes.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">Otherwise, here in Stayton we have provision regarding developments that don't meet current land use standards that requires if they are "substantially altered," the whole development be brought into compliance with the standards. There
is no magic percentage but in determining whether an alteration or expansion is substantial, the decision authority is directed to consider the square footage of the alteration in comparison to the total square footage of the development, the value of the
alteration compared to the total value of the development and the extent to which the portion of the development is leased property (in that the tenant and applicant may not have the ability to change other portions of the property).<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText">Yeah, this is an issue that comes up with all types of buildings. Code updates can also be triggered by change of use or other issues. In Independence we have commercial design standards that come into play if a remodel exceeds 60%
of the building's assessed true cash value. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText">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.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText">Hello All,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">Does anyone else have code like this?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">Does anyone else have code like this?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">What percentage of value is your trigger threshold?<o:p></o:p></p>
