B. Redevelopment Activities
A modification to a structure existing as of the effective date of this Code shall require compliance with all or portions of the standards in this article to the maximum extent practicable, based on the following scaled implementation approach:
(1) Exterior Renovation
Any exterior renovation of a building shall comply with the site and building design standards in Section 5.7, Site and Building Design, for that renovation. If the renovation is proposed for only a portion of a building, the Director may waive compliance with the site and building design standards if that renovation would be inconsistent with the overall design of the existing structure.
(2) External Additions
External additions to existing structures shall comply with the development standards in this article pursuant to the applicability thresholds identified in Table 5.1. Additions shall be calculated based on the gross floor area of that structure (and not gross floor area of all structures per lot). Additional information on applicability is provided in the referenced sections.
