For renovation projects less than 50% of the total building value and leased space not owned by the City, this policy will beused as a best practices guide and evaluate on a case-by-case basis any renovations required by the City, proprietary ownership of HVAC, electrical, and water systems, and other considerations that affect the City’s influence. When the City is determined to have influence in renovations that fall within policy criteria, these policy standards will apply.
