In computing the total cost, the cost of any such work accumulated in any three-year period shall be considered.
   C.   "Reasonable economic use." For the purpose of the downtown overlay provisions, "reasonable economic use" means a use for a structure or property that will produce a reasonable return that is economically viable. In a situation involving a property or structure that is not income-producing, reasonable economic use means that the property structure can be put to a reasonable beneficial use in a reasonable period of time based upon all relevant criteria set forth in Section 1111.0904.
   D.   "Surface Parking Lots." For purposes of the downtown overlay provisions.
