OREGO."
"Demolition" or "demolish" means:
i. Removal of all exterior walls;
ii. Removal of the superstructure (the part
of the building or construction above the
lowest subflooring; "lowest subfloor" is the
bottommost structural floor laid as a base
for a finished floor), such that none of the
existing superstructure is maintained; or
iii. Alteration, abandonment or removal of
all of the existing perimeter foundation.

Proposed Code
b. " Demolition " or "demolish" means removal of
50 percent or more of the total surface area of
exterior walls or perimeter foundation of a
residential structure as it existed on [effective date
of ordinance], either as a single project or
cumulatively over five years or less;
c. " Exterior wall" for the purpose of LOC 45. 12. 100
means a wall enclosing a dwelling that has a surface
exposed to the outside, including all framing and
A eathing, from top plate to bottom plate on all
od1V,*es.

Alternatives
• Floor Area Removal: Considered but rejected because interior
modifications do not impact neighbors, and including interior
in calculation could have unintended consequences.
• Interior Walls/Foundation: Same as above.
• Roof Removal (e.g., for second-story addition):
— Considered but rejected . Staff believes it would be difficult
to measure and enforce unless the code specifies 100%
removal .
