The policies contained within this section shall apply to new construction, additions or <br />modifications to existing development, and new uses proposed for existing facilities, with <br />the following exemptions: <br />• Remodeling of interior space which does not increase commercial square footage, the <br />number of hotel guest rooms, or the number or type of dwelling units and which does <br />not involve a historic resource as described in Section 2.1. However, such interior <br />remodels shall not cause windows to be removed. Changes in use are subject to Use <br />Regulations (Section 2.2). <br />• Maintenance and repairs to an existing building which are necessary to ensure it <br />remains in good working order. <br />• Modifications to properties with a valid Planned Development (PD) permit in good <br />standing shall not be subject to the DTPP and instead shall be allowed to conform to <br />the substantive and procedural requirements of said PD permit as such permit may be <br />amended, Article 46 of the Redwood City Zoning Ordinance, and the requirements of <br />the zoning district in effect for such property prior to the adoption of the DTPP as <br />shown in Section i.2.2, except when the square footage is increased by more than <br />35% or the site is redeveloped (ie, the existing building is demolished and entirely <br />rebuilt outside of a casualty event), in which case the DTPP shall apply. <br />b. When additions are made to existing buildings that are not otherwise exempt, DTPP <br />regulations will apply only to the addition. When modifications are made to existing <br />development, such as new signage, landscaping, façade treatments, or a change in use, <br />only those aspects being modified must be brought into conformance with DTPP <br />requirements. However, while unaltered existing development will be allowed to remain <br />nonconforming, additions and modif ications to existing development that increase <br />nonconformities are not permitted. <br />c. Right of Continued Use: Nothing contained in this section shall require any change in any <br />existing building or structure for which a building permit has been previously issued, or for <br />plans on file in the Planning Division prior to the effective date of this Precise Plan. <br />Changes in a property's ownership or changes of tenants of existing uses shall likewise <br />require no change in any building or structure. Furthermore, existing development with a <br />PD permit in good standing shall be considered a conforming structure. <br />d. Abandonment of Use: A nonconforming use shall not be re-established in any structure <br />within the DTPP area if such nonconforming use has ceased for a three (3) consecutive <br />month period. <br />[Subsections d, e, f, and g are hereby re-lettered as subsections e, f, g and h, respectively.] <br /> <br />Sec. 2.0.2 – OVERVIEW OF DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS: <br />The Development Regulations in this document are applied to those properties within the <br />Redwood City Downtown Precise Plan Area as indicated on the Precise Plan Area Map (see Book <br />7.A. - Page 14
