(A) The architectural standards set forth in this subchapter shall apply to all development in the Commercial Thoroughfare Overlay District (exclusive of single-family residential development) in the following categories:
(1) All newly constructed buildings or newly constructed portions of buildings or building components shall comply with all applicable aspects of these regulations.
(2) Whenever changes, renovations or alterations are undertaken to an exterior facade component of a building existing at the time of adoption of this section, the portion of that component upon which the work is undertaken shall either:
(a) Be restored to its original character as it stood at date of adoption of this regulation, using the same or similar materials, colors and styles; or
(b) Comply with the applicable standards of this section.
(3) On existing buildings, projects requiring a building permit where the total value of such work is greater than 50% of the current tax assessed value of the structure may not occur, unless the entire site is brought into compliance with this section. In determining the value of work in regard to this section, the value of multiple projects within the most recent two-year period shall be aggregated. For the purposes of this section, bringing an existing site into compliance shall not be construed to require the relocation of any existing structure or portion of a structure.
