Can an existing commercial structure be renovated or expanded and be exempt?

That depends. The renovation or one-level addition is exempt only if it meets all three items in the 3-rule test (see above). If the structure exceeds 30 feet in height, or exceeds table 503, Type V, column B in the state building code, it is not exempt.
