Remodeling a House
Remodels of existing residences are generally allowed, but may require a building permit. Remodels of existing residences to another use (e.g. commercial use) are allowed in some zoning districts, but requires a change of occupancy permit and may have additional requirements.
It is recommended to contact the Fire Department and Engineering & Utilities for any additional requirements related to a remodel.
Garage Conversions
The permanent conversion of a garage to another use (bedroom, office, bonus room, etc.) is only allowed if the residence maintains a minimum of 2 covered parking spaces (20 feet x 20 feet in area) subsequent to the conversion.
