ROBERT L. EHRLICH, JR, Governor                                 Ch. 5

IN THIS SUBTITLE THE FOLLOWING WORDS HAVE THE MEANINGS INDICATED.
REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection formerly was Art. 83B, § 6-502(a).
No changes are made.

(B)     ADDITION.

"ADDITION" MEANS AN INCREASE IN:

(1)      BUILDING AREA;

(2)      AGGREGATE FLOOR AREA;

(3)      HEIGHT; OR

(4)      NUMBER OF STORIES.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection formerly was Art. 83B, § 6-502(b).

In item (4) of this subsection, the former reference to the stories "of a
building or structure" is deleted as unnecessary in light of the definitions
of "existing building" and "rehabilitation project".

The only other changes are in style.

(C)     CHANGE OF OCCUPANCY.

"CHANGE OF OCCUPANCY" MEANS A CHANGE IN THE PURPOSE OR LEVEL OF
ACTIVITY IN A BUILDING OR STRUCTURE THAT INVOLVES A CHANGE IN
APPLICATION OF THE LOCAL BUILDING CODE REQUIREMENTS.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection is new language derived without
substantive change from former Art. 83B, § 6-502(c).

The reference to a "building or" structure is added for consistency with
subsection (f) of this section.

(D)     CONSTRUCTION PERMIT APPLICATION.

"CONSTRUCTION PERMIT APPLICATION" MEANS AN APPLICATION FOR A
PERMIT OR OTHER GOVERNMENTAL APPROVAL FOR A REHABILITATION PROJECT.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection is new language derived without
substantive change from former Art. 83B, § 6-502(d).

The former reference to an application "made to a local jurisdiction" is
deleted as unnecessary in light of the reference in subsection (f) of this
section to a construction permit application "made to a local jurisdiction,
the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission, or the
Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission", and the reference in §
12-1004(c) of this subtitle to a construction permit application "received by
a local jurisdiction, the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning
Commission, or the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission".
