The policies contained within this section shall apply to new construction, additions or modifications to existing development, and new uses proposed for existing facilities, with the following exemptions: • Remodeling of interior space which does not: (1)increase commercial square footage, the number of hotel guest rooms, or the number or type of dwelling units, (2) change the exterior,and (3) involve a historic resource as described in Section 2.1. Howcvcr, such interior remodels shall not cause windows to be removed. However changes in use are subject to Use Regulations (Section 2.2). • Maintenance and repairs to an existing building which are necessary to ensure it remains in good working order. • Modifications to properties with a valid Planned Development (PD) permit in good standing shall not be subject to the DTPP and instead shall be allowed to conform to the substantive and procedural requirements of said PD permit as such permit may be amended, Article 46 of the Redwood City Zoning Ordinance, and the requirements of the zoning district in effect for such property prior to the adoption of the DTPP as shown in Section i.2.2, except when the square footage is increased by more than 35% or the site is redeveloped (ie, the existing building is demolished and entirely rebuilt outside of a casualty event), in which case the DTPP shall apply. b. When additions are made to existing buildings that are not otherwise exempt, DTPP regulations will apply only to the addition. When modifications are made to existing development, such as new signage, landscaping, façade treatments, or a change in use, only those aspects being modified must be brought into conformance with DTPP requirements. However, while unaltered existing development will be allowed to remain nonconforming, additions and modifications to existing development that increase nonconformities are not permitted. c. Right of Continued Use: Nothing contained in this section shall require any change in any existing building or structure for which a building permit has been previously issued, or for plans on file in the Planning Division prior to the effective date of this Precise Plan. Changes in a property's ownership or changes of tenants of existing uses shall likewise require no change in any building or structure. Furthermore, existing development with a PD permit in good standing shall be considered a conforming structure. d. Abandonment of Use: A nonconforming use shall not be re-established in any structure within the DTPP area if such nonconforming use has ceased for a six (6) consecutive month period.
