ACTION HOUSING MISSION STATEMENT The mission of ACTION Housing is to empower people to build more secure and self-sufficient lives through the provision of decent, affordable housing, essential supportive services, asset building programs, and educational and employment opportunities. As an extension of that central mission, ACTION Housing links its activities with other public, non-profit and private entities in a common effort to address the needs of their clients. The organization provides decent, safe, and affordable housing for the most vulnerable populations despite their physical, developmental and income limitations; demonstrating leadership in the implementation of innovative technology in the delivery and management of social services. GOAL FOR UPTOWN Uptown Action Housing and the Issues of Practice class at Carnegie Mellon University concurrently focused on the Uptown neighborhood as a microcosmic sample of the transitional potential of a majority of Pittsburghâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s neighborhoods. In particular, this neighborhood poses interesting future urban outcomes due to its proximity to Downtown and other commercial neighborhood centers and the existing integrated ease of public transportation.

ARC48_550 ACTION UPTOWN: CORNERSTONE OUTLOOK WHAT IS CORNERSTONE OUTLOOK? While out of all the lots in Pittsburgh, 12% vacant and the lots in Uptown are 35% vacant, with 39 vacant lots in the blocks confined by Watson Street, Tustin Avenue, Jumonvillle Street, and Seneca Street, there are many opportunities in refurbishing existing and historic construction. Uptown is a transitioning community that retains vestiges of its former thriving state around the turn of the century. The vision of Action Uptown is focused upon the utilization of Uptownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s urban potential to remediate the lack of housing for below-market residents. Through these efforts, it also aims to sensitively reinforce a sense of community that is autonomous from the nearby Duquesne University and Downtown. Action Uptown proposes to provide repurposed housing with an environmental focus and other potential projects and has asked fourth year Carnegie Mellon architecture students to create proposals to meet these criteria. The chosen site for Cornerstone Outlook is the Corinthian Baptist Church at 2037 Forbes on the corner of Forbes Avenue and Seneca Street - a rarely used and neglected church with an empty side lawn that is yet relatively prominent in the surrounding neighborhood. The church is one of three churches in Uptown, with the other two churches at Duquesne University and at a spot five blocks towards the west. The property line of the church encompasses two lots (see fig. 1.2). The larger main lot includes the church building and the lawn. The other lot is used as housing for the pastor, but it is in disrepair. The location of the Corinthian Baptist Church and its attached lot on the centerline of Uptown and not too far from its center provides a great opportunity to transform something existing into something more.

The solution is to repurpose the church as a community center. This resolution is based upon the recognized lack of need for a fully functioning church and the opportunity the building can provide if it was opened for a larger program. The program devoted to religious services would be reduced and the building would devote a greater amount of program to flexible community space. Multiple live/work participants would be contracted to maintain and organize events for the community center (including religious services) in exchange for free rooming.

ARC48_550 ACTION UPTOWN: CORNERSTONE OUTLOOK UPTOWN’S PROXIMITIES Uptown is located strategically between Downtown’s central business district, Oakland, and Southside across the Monongahela River. However, as many highways and transportation routes pass through it, many people see Uptown only as a blur outside the window. It is not a place to get to, but a place to get through. This is why it is important for Uptown to rise in prominence and become another major Pittsburgh hub.

EXISTING COMMUNITY CENTERS The proposal would introduce another entry into a decently widespread set of buildings all around Pittsburgh. Relating to an eventual program for the proposal, there are three major types of community centers: social amenities, fitness clubs, and child care centers. Within a mile radius of the site are fourteen community centers, and a large bulk of the rest are in Downtown. Uptown itself, however, only has one: UPMC Mercy Hospital, which serves the larger community of Pittsburgh. The nearest of these centers to the proposal site is one of two Community Human Services Corporation sites. The CHS revitalizes Oakland and is in many ways similar to the proposal. The proposal is unique in that it combines several of these programs into an existing building in an area that is not dense with community centers. This way it can provide a far greater influence on its neighborhood without having to balance with other centers. Also, the typology of repurposed churches has been carried out in other neighborhoods of Pittsburgh, such as the Church Brew Works in Lawrenceville.

ARC48_550 ACTION UPTOWN: CORNERSTONE OUTLOOK UPTOWN During the turn of the century, the area was called “the most beautiful place in Pittsburgh” due to its proximity to Downtown and waterfront property. However, the gentrification and revitalization efforts of the 1960’s shifted the demographics of the area. Now it is a dip between Downtown and Oakland in terms on economic stature, quality of life, and liveability. The area within a mile around the proposed site has fairly even green spaces. However, compared to Squirrel Hill, Shadyside, and Oakland, Uptown is sparsely forested. Most of the public and semi-public garden spaces are loosely maintained or serve as public littering spots.

BUSWAYS AND PARKING ACCESS There are seven nearby bus stops within walking distance of the proposal. Forbes Avenue and Fifth Avenue run the major bus routes from Squirrel Hill, Shadyside, and Oakland areas to Downtown and South Side. There are also three large parking areas, two to the north and one to the south, only two blocks away. An unofficial parking area also exists to the northwest.

Figure 2.4: Map of Action Uptown’s focus indicating the locations of nearby access routes from parking lots and bus stops.

ACTION UPTOWN’S FOCUS The proposed site is within sight range of all of the other proposals for Action Uptown. Four of these are new construction, two are adaptive reuses of existing construction, two are revisions of side streets, and the last proposal deals with the unity of the blocks as a whole and thus affects the proposed community center. The proximity of the other proposals to the proposed community center means that a significant amount of change may be happening simultaneously, so the design of the community center would have to reflect that.

BI-

The reverend currently employed at the church only visits every few weeks, even though the church is fully equipped for regular sessions. The rest of the foot traffic is comprised of walkers, bikers, and runners. This means that the site is frequented often, so the availability of an open area for stopping or lounging is an opportunity the community center is designed for. The bus stop near the site is also well situated to resonate with the community center. People leaving or getting on the bus may welcome the activity at a community center and may help propel it as a positive influence on the community.

MAIL AND POWER CABLES The power cables crisscrossing the streets and connecting to the church building impact the site. Aside from being a visual sore, the wires may interfere with foliage on the lawn and the poles may impact visibility of the site from various directions along Forbes Avenue and Seneca Street.

mailbox

The mail route visiting the church and nearby housing as well as a mailbox across the intersection may have an impact and be impacted by any modification. Community activity, such as a mail delivery agent, is what the community center fosters and is a positive force in the revitalization of any community. The availability of a mail service depends on the safety of the community. If the community center can ensure that safety, then it plays a key, connected, role in the community.

ARC48_550 ACTION UPTOWN: CORNERSTONE OUTLOOK DEMOGRAPHIC BREAKDOWN The vision for Uptown is to become a incubator for future economic and social developments in the city of Pittsburgh. Its proximity to the all ready flourishing neighborhoods of Downtown, Oakland, and Southside, grants Uptown a opportune position to attract various demographics. The current statistics of Uptown equals around 6,600 inhabitants. They represent only 2.16% of the total population of Pittsburgh. Only a small fraction of the 6,600 inhabitants represent the actual residents living in the Uptown neighborhood, as the greater portion are students who attend the nearby Duquesne University and prisoners at the Allegheny Police Department.

Unemployment is a great issue for Uptown’s community. Although the area is concentrated with age groups well into the work force, almost half of the population is unemployed. This is reflected by the number of people under the poverty line, who consist of 58.6% of the total population. Most of the employed members work in the educational and health fields. The next largest group are involved in the arts and entertainment industry, which reflects the neighborhood’s transitional state with its under market value real estate.

PS3.01

ARC48_550 ACTION UPTOWN: CORNERSTONE OUTLOOK TYPICAL MORNING/WINTER NOON In all seasons except winter, when this happens at noon, the low morning sun shines directly on the eastern facade of the church building, applying a strong amount of heat that will have to be dissipated through the rest of the day. Any glazing on this side would need temporary shading to reduce direct glare and heat exposure. Figure 2.16: Sectional view of solar effects on a typical morning or winter noon.

TYPICAL MIDDAY In all seasons except winter, the midday sun applies heat on the entire roof of the church building and the adjacent lot structure. At this angle the maximum amount of surface area is exposed, so the building receives the most heat and the lawn is unshaded. Insulation in the roofs would need to be used to reduce this source of heat. Figure 2.17: Sectional view of solar effects on a typical midday.

TYPICAL PARTLY SHADED LAWN In all seasons except summer, the afternoon sun partly shades the lawn by the church building. Because of this, any outdoor activities that require full daylight would need to end by around 3 PM during these seasons.

Figure 2.18: Sectional view of the extent of shading when the lawn is partly shaded.

TYPICAL FULLY SHADED LAWN In all seasons except winter, the early evening sun fully shades the lawn by the church building. Because of this, any outdoor activities should end by around 6 PM as the area will be without light. During the winter, the sun would have set so the entire site would be in darkness, necessitating an earlier closing time for the community center.

ARC48_550 TEMPERATURE

The greatest impact yearly temperature has is on any public openings added to the community center. The yearly temperature also has an impact on what types and range of activities are possible in the lawn. PARTITION ACCESS Any openings in the church building can be open as long as the exterior temperatures do not fall below a comfort level somewhere around 65°. This means that, on average, they can be open from mid-March to mid-November during the day, however they might need to close on occasion as long as the low temperatures stay below freezing before May and after November. RANGE OF ACTIVITIES The freezing point can be a good swing point between cold and warm activity types. Warm activities may begin around May and last until early November. After that, the temperatures get lower until mid January when the average point reaches freezing, allowing cold activities to happen. There is a lull between mid-January and mid-February when the average temperature is at freezing and the community center lawn might be inactive.

ARC48_550 ACTION UPTOWN: CORNERSTONE OUTLOOK WIND The site receives strong winds from the northwest, southwest, and southeast. The northwest winds would be blocked by the church building, but the combination of those winds with the southeast winds could allow for a channel of moving air diagonally through the church building. Any north- or west-facing windows in the live/work area would need to be operable to reduce drafts. The southwest winds would be blocked by the church building, however any south- or west-facing windows in the live/work area would need to be operable to prevent severe drafts. The southeast winds would impact the lawn and part of the church building. Planters with small trees could reduce these winds before they get to the lawn. Alternatively the winds could pass into the church building to allow for diagonal ventilation.

Figure 2.21: Yearly wind speed peaks from 13.5 mph to 25.5 mph. The more layers there are going out from the church the faster the wind is there, from that direction, on average yearly.

Figure 2.22: Dominant winds through the church building in plan.

INTERIOR VENTILATION Currently the church building can be well ventilated if the windows were made operable. Due to the size of the stained glass windows, prevailing winds entering the church would circulate from the main space around to the smaller rooms and side areas. Some wind might get in through the smaller windows, again if there were more operable than currently.

The zone that Action Housing is focusing their attention is classified as R1A-H, meaning Single-Unit (R1) Attached (A) Residential High (H) Density. This, generally, allows the use of a zoning lot for one dwelling unit that is attached to one or more dwelling units by a party wall or separate abutting wall that is located on its own separate lot. This zone is in the neighborhood of Uptown, planning sector 15, and council district 6. There are four types of uses, permitted uses, uses with an administratorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exception, special exception uses, and conditional uses. The permitted uses are: Single-Unit Detached Residential, Single-Unit Attached Residential, Agriculture (General), and Agriculture (Limited) with Beekeeping. The uses with an administratorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exception are: Personal Care Residence (Small), Parks and Recreation (Limited), and Utility (Limited). The special exception uses are: Community Home, Child Care (Limited), Community Center (Limited), Cultural Service (Limited), Religious Assembly (Limited), and Religious Assembly (General).

The proposed lots are 88-0-1 and 88-0-2, somewhat out of place numerically as the nearby lots are a few numbers above or below and without extra sets of numbers (see fig. 2.20). The 88-0-1 lot is fairly large and is one of the largest within Action Uptown’s focus. The 88-0-2 lot is comparable to any of the other residential lots.

ARC48_550 ACTION UPTOWN: CORNERSTONE OUTLOOK RESIDENTIAL COMPATIBILITY STANDARDS Since the site is in the R1A-H zone, it must conform to the site development standards for that zone. The proposal is allowed to have Contextual Side and Front Setbacks (CSS and CFS respectively) and Contextual Building Heights (CBH). However, as the two lots have adjacent occupied lots, the side setback is zero and the CSS standards do not apply.

The CFS can reduce the required minimum setback to a point established by adjacent construction or by over 50% of the adjacent lots on the same streetside. This has to be demonstrated to the Zoning Administrator with plans, surveys, maps and other evidence. The CFS does not increase the minimum setback nor does it reduce it so much that right-of-way widths are reduced below established minimums.

The CBH can be between the zoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s height limit and the average height of the adjacent lots on the same streetside. The CBH does not decrease the maximum allowed height or increase the minimum allowed height.

ARC48_550 ACTION UPTOWN: CORNERSTONE OUTLOOK LOT DEVELOPMENT AND COMPLIANCE Of particular interest to this proposal is the potential of attaining a Special Exception in the R1A-H district for a Community Center (Limited). A Community Center (Limited) is a facility used for social or recreational programs generally open to the public and intended to accommodate and serve significant segments of the community which primarily serves the community in which it exists, and with a gross floor area of less than 5,000 square feet and for which fewer than 10 off-street parking spaces are provided. Activities at the community center would have to be noncommercial and nonprofit. During the process of acquiring the Special Exception, the approving body will determine if a community center can exist in the neighborhood based on its location, use, and activity. The proposal may also utilize the Religious Assembly (Limited) use. A Religious Assembly (Limited) is an establishment operated by a religious organization for religious worship, religious training and related religious services for which fewer than 20 parking spaces are required. During the process of acquiring the Special Exception, the approving body will work with the Planning Director to modify the standards and requirements to allow for the proposal to go through. Both uses will need to be handled carefully in regards to normal and event parking and traffic, as well as people and operational loads.

EXEMPTION FROM COMPLIANCE

ZONING

45 days Figure 2.38: Process to get an exemption from compliance to the Community Center or Religious Assembly codes.

The proposal can only be either Community Center (Limited) or Religious Assembly (Limited). Both would require a Special Exception: give an application to the Zoning Administrator, attend a public hearing before the Zoning Board of Adjustments, and receive notice of the decision within 45 days. The Zoning Board of Adjustments will determine that the proposal will not be in any way detrimental to the surrounding neighborhood and propose alternative methods that the proposal may work without a Special Exception if there are discrepancies. The conversion of an existing church is further exempt from compliance with the Residential Compatibility Standards because it satisfies two of the following requirements for exemption: a) Development within the GT, DR, PD districts (see Fig. 2.19 for a map of nearby zones); b) Structural alteration of an existing building when such alteration does not increase the buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s square footage or height;

500 sq. ft.

c) A change in use that does not increase the number of off-street parking spaces required (minimum one for every 500 sq. ft, maximum one for every 200 sq. ft). 200 sq. ft.

Minimum Front Setback: 15 ft Actual Front Setback: 0 ft Although this does not comply with the current regulations of the Pittsburgh Code of Ordinances, it will not pose a problem because of the Contextual Front Setback exception, given in Section 925.06.B. It holds that as long as more than 50 percent of the buildings on a block have the same front setback, any proposed additions to this building would be able to follow this contextual standard regardless of the minimum front setback requirements for the district.

5. Chimneys - two chimneys extend above the roof. These chimneys may be unstable and may need to be demolished to improve the look of the building.

9. Plaster - the western wall of the building is covered in an aging plaster that has visible cracks and is peeling away from the brickwork. It would need to be replaced or removed.

4. Stained Glass Windows - of the twenty one windows around the building, eight are completely covered by a fiberglass covering, perhaps missing, three are partially covered, one is boarded over, two have steel bars, and the rest are dirty and unused exposed glass. All would need to be restored, replaced, or repaired.

7. Plant Growth - untended plants have encroached on the back of the building. These plants conceal parts of the building and may pose a hazard to the old brickwork. Along with the growth in the yards, these plants would need to be controlled.

2. Gaps in Sidewalk - in two spots at the front facade are holes in the sidewalk leading to basement glazing. The bricks around them are in disrepair pose a danger to foot traffic outside the building. These holes would need to be repaired.

The quality of the interior conditions ranges from fully functional and well-kept to absolute clutter and disuse. The unkept rooms, particularly the closet spaces in the basement and the partitioned rooms on the second floor balcony, have been reduced to storage spaces without a sense of organization. Behind the clutter of piled up storage are signs of a sick building. The original stained glass windows have gaps thoughout the window frames or even have glass panels all together missing. Interior walls and ceilings suffer from heavy water damage. Molds are evident around the corners of rooms. Layers of wall plaster, ceiling boards, and floor tilings are found in deteriorated states throughout the entirety of the church.

Some areas would need to be replaced completely as the bricks there are gone or falling apart. The north and west facades have extensive foliage cover that would need to be removed and the masonry there checked for structural faults. Some areas of the masonry there would also need a facing restoration. The estimated area that would need to be completely replaced is 30.8 sq ft, so the estimated number of bricks would be about 220 bricks (mortar included). The estimated area that would need to be partially restored is 60 sq ft, so the estimated number of bricks within that area is about 430 bricks. Since the amount of degradation varies, some of these bricks might need to be completely replaced after inspection. The estimated area of foliage cover is 343 sq ft, however the bricks that may be structurally compromised may only comprise a small percentage of that area.

CA1.01

ARC48_550 ACTION UPTOWN: CORNERSTONE OUTLOOK 105: PERMITS Section 105 deals with Permits. This section applies to all construction with some exceptions. Since the proposal is composed of substantial construction, a permit is required. Subsection 105.1 indicates that a project that is construction, alteration, repair, demolition, or that changes the occupancy of a structure, or that involves new electrical, gas, mechanical, or plumbing systems needs a permit. For the proposal, this is the case. Subsection 105.3 describes the process to get a permit: locate and describe the proposal, its use and occupancy, include construction documents, describe the value and sign this package and give it to the building official.

107: SUBMITTAL DOCUMENTS Section 107 deals with Submittal Documents. These are the documents required to be submitted for a permit. Subsection 107.1 describes the submission. As described in 105.3, the documents must include construction documents, any site data and other data.

CA2.00

Code Analysis: APPLICATION

105.1

Required. Any owner or authorized agent who intends to construct, enlarge, alter, repair, move, demolish, or change the occupancy of a building or structure, or to erect, install, enlarge, alter, repair, remove, convert or replace any electrical, gas, mechanical or plumbing system, the installation of which is regulated by this code, or to cause any such work to be done, shall first make application to the building official and obtain the required permit.

105.3

Application for permit. To obtain a permit, the applicant shall first file an application therefor in writing on a form furnished by the department of building safety for that purpose. Such application shall: 1. Identify and describe the work to be covered by the permit for which application is made. 2. Describe the land on which the proposed work is to be done by legal description, street address or similar description that will readily identify and definitely locate the proposed building or work. 3. Indicate the use and occupancy for which the proposed work is intended. 4. Be accompanied by construction documents and other information as required in Section 107. 5. State the valuation of the proposed work. 6. Be signed by the applicant, or the applicant's authorized agent. 7. Give such other data and information as required by the building official.

107.1

General. Submittal documents consisting of construction documents, statement of special inspections, geotechnical report and other data shall be submitted in two or more sets with each permit application. The construction documents shall be prepared by a registered design professional where required by the statutes of the jurisdiction in which the project is to be constructed. Where special conditions exist, the building official is authorized to require additional construction documents to be prepared by a registered design professional.

ACTION UPTOWN: CORNERSTONE OUTLOOK

110.1

General. Construction or work for which a permit is required shall be subject to inspection by the building official and such construction or work shall remain accessible and exposed for inspection purposes until approved. Approval as a result of an inspection shall not be construed to be an approval of a violation of the provisions of this code or of other ordinances of the jurisdiction. Inspections presuming to give authority to violate or cancel the provisions of this code or of other ordinances of the jurisdiction shall not be valid. It shall be the duty of the permit applicant to cause the work to remain accessible and exposed for inspection purposes. Neither the building official nor the jurisdiction shall be liable for expense entailed in the removal or replacement of any material required to allow inspection.

111.1

Use and occupancy. No building or structure shall be used or occupied, and no change in the existing occupancy classification of a building or structure or portion thereof shall be made, until the building official has issued a certificate of occupancy therefor as provided herein. Issuance of a certificate of occupancy shall not be construed as an approval of a violation of the provisions of this code or of other ordinances of the jurisdiction.

111.3

Temporary occupancy. The building official is authorized to issue a temporary certificate of occupancy before the completion of the entire work covered by the permit, provided that such portion or portions shall be occupied safely. The building official shall set a time period during which the temporary certificate of occupancy is valid.

ARC48_550

110: INSPECTIONS Section 110 deals with Inspections. Inspections are required for any project that requires a permit. Construction cannot proceed until an inspector has verified the integrity of the completed parts. Subsection 110.1 indicates that the completed parts of construction need to remain accessible for an inspector and that any materials required for the inspection be handled without making the inspection agency liable.

111: CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY Section 111 deals with the Certificate of Occupancy. This certificate allows the proposal to be occupied once it has been constructed and inspected. Subsection 111.1 indicates that both construction and a change of occupancy require certificates of occupancy to be issued by the building official. Subsection 111.3 allows for a certificate of occupancy to be issued temporarily for a part of the proposal to be occupied before the entire proposal is completed. The process of inspections and temporary certificates of occupancy can be useful for the proposal to arrange each part of the proposal to be subsequently open to the public once it is complete: the live/work space can be open for habitation, the community center can be open for events, and the lawn can be open for occupancy. Also, the future additions to the proposals will have to go through their own permit and inspection processes.

Code Analysis: APPLICATION

CA2.01

ARC48_550 ACTION UPTOWN: CORNERSTONE OUTLOOK 303: ASSEMBLY GROUP A Section 303 deals with Assembly Group A. This is the group that the community center part of the proposal would fall into. Subsection 105.1 describes all of the types of construction that would be classified as assembly, including for the gathering for social or religious functions, or recreation. The subsection further lists specific descriptions, including community halls, gymnasiums, and places of religious worship. Since the community center part of the proposal includes these functions, the proposal falls into Assembly Group A-3.

310: RESIDENTIAL GROUP R Section 310 deals with Residential Group R. This is the group that the live/work part of the proposal would fall into. Subsection 310.1 describes all of the types of construction that would be classified as residential, namely anything that can be slept in as long as it is not regulated by the IRC or is not classified as Institutional Group I. Both of these special cases do not apply, the live/work part of the proposal is regulated by this code. The subsection further lists specific descriptions, including live/work units, indicating that the proposal falls into Residential Group R-2.

419: LIVE\WORK UNITS Section 419 deals with Live\Work Units. This is the group that the live/work part of the proposal would fall into. Subsection 419.1 describes what a live\work unit is along with limitations. The unit cannot be more than 3000 GASF, the office spaces must be on the first floor and not more than 50% of the space, and only five additional personnel are allowed to occupy the space along with the live/workers.

303.1

Assembly Group A. Assembly Group A occupancy includes, among others, the use of a building or structure, or a portion thereof, for the gathering of persons for purposes such as civic, social or religious functions; recreation, food or drink consumption or awaiting transportation. ... A-3: Assembly uses intended for worship, recreation or amusement and other assembly uses not classified elsewhere in Group A including, but not limited to: ... Community halls ... Gymnasiums (without spectator seating) ... Places of religious worship

310.1

Residential Group R. Residential Group R includes, among others, the use of a building or structure, or a portion thereof, for sleeping purposes when not classified as an Institutional Group I or when not regulated by the International Residential Code in accordance with Section 101.2. Residential occupancies shall include the following: ... R-2: Residential occupancies containing sleeping units or more than two dwelling units where the occupants are primarily permanent in nature, including: ... live/work units

419.1

General. A live/work unit is a dwelling unit or sleeping unit in which a significant portion of the space includes a nonresidential use that is operated by the tenant and shall comply with Sections 419.1 through 419.8. ... 419.1.1 Limitations. The following shall apply to all live/work areas: 1. The live/work unit is permitted to be a maximum of 3,000 square feet (279 m2); 2. The nonresidential area is permitted to be a maximum 50 percent of the area of each live/work unit; 3. The nonresidential area function shall be limited to the first or main floor only of the live/work unit; and 4. A maximum of five nonresidential workers or employees are allowed to occupy the nonresidential area at any one time.

311.1

Storage Group S. Storage Group S occupancy includes, among others, the use of a building or structure, or a portion thereof, for storage that is not classified as a hazardous occupancy.

ARC48_550

311: STORAGE GROUP S Section 311 deals with Storage Group S. This is the group that the mobile storage future part of th proposal would most nearly fall into. Subsection 311.1 indicates that the storage would fall into this group as long as it is not classified as hazardous occupancy. According to Section 307, High-Hazard Group H, Exception 3, any closed system using flammable gases would not be classified as hazardous. This means that the outdoor grill equipment that would be part of the storage would not exclude the storage future part of the proposal from Storage Group S as it is not hazardous.

3408.1

Conformance. No change shall be made in the use or occupancy of any building that would place the building in a different division of the same group of occupancies or in a different group of occupancies, unless such building is made to comply with the requirements of this code for such division or group of occupancies. Subject to the approval of the building official, the use or occupancy of existing buildings shall be permitted to be changed and the building is allowed to be occupied for purposes in other groups without conforming to all the requirements of this code for those groups, provided the new or proposed use is less hazardous, based on life and fire risk, than the existing use.

508.1

General. Each portion of a building shall be individually classified in accordance with Section 302.1. Where a building contains more than one occupancy group, the building or portion thereof shall comply with the applicable provisions of Section 508.2,508.3 or 508.4, or a combination of these sections.

3408: CHANGE OF OCCUPANCY Section 3408 deals with a Change of Occupancy. This occurs in the entirety of the proposal because a former church becomes a community center, a former attached residence becomes a live/work space, and a former sideyard becomes a communal lawn. Subsection 3408.1 indicates that the changed occupancy must conform to the new codes for the new occupancy, which is the goal of these pages.

508: MIXED USE AND OCCUPANCY Section 508 deals with Mixed Use and Occupancy. The proposal falls under this section because it is a mixture of at least an Assembly, Residential, and Storage uses. Subsection 508.1 indicates that each use needs to conform to its applicable code requirements.

CA3.01

ARC48_550 ACTION UPTOWN: CORNERSTONE OUTLOOK 3411: ACCESSIBILITY FOR EXISTING BUILDINGS Section 3411 deals with Accessibility for Existing Buildings. This section applies because the community center and live/work parts of the proposal are alterations of existing buildings. Subsection 3411.1 indicates that this section encompasses any construction that changes occupancy, adds to, or alters an existing building, which the community center and live/work parts of the proposal are. Subsection 3411.4 describes the regulations for a change of occupancy as it applies to existing buildings, indicating that certain accessible features must be part of the change: one or more accessible entrances and one or more accessible routes from said entrances to primary function areas. Subsection 3411.5 describes that any additions must follow the regulations for new construction. Subsection 3411.6 describes that any alterations must follow rules of accessibility outlined in Chapter 11 and ICC A117.1 unless technically infeasible. Subsection 3411.7 describes that any alterations affecting a primary function area, which is the case in the community center, must follow rules of accessibility. This compliance must also include accessible toilets or drinking fountains that serve the primary function area.

3412: COMPLIANCE ALTERNATIVES Section 3412 deals with Compliance Alternatives. These can be used with existing buildings without requiring the regular provisions. Subsection 3412.1 indicates that this section permits alteration and addition as long as the construction maintains or increases the quality of the existing building without requiring the regular provisions in preceding sections.

3411.6

Alterations. A building, facility or element that is altered shall comply with the applicable provisions in Chapter 11 of this code and ICC A117.1, unless technically infeasible. Where compliance with this section is technically infeasible, the alteration shall provide access to the maximum extent technically feasible.

3411.7

Alterations affecting an area containing a primary function. Where an alteration affects the accessibility to, or contains an area of primary function, the route to the primary function area shall be accessible. The accessible route to the primary function area shall include toilet facilities or drinking fountains serving the area of primary function.

3412.1

Compliance. The provisions of this section are intended to maintain or increase the current degree of public safety, health and general welfare in existing buildings while permitting repair, alteration, addition and change of occupancy without requiring full compliance with Chapters 2 through 33, or Sections 3401.3, and 3403 through 3409, except where compliance with other provisions of this code is specifically required in this section.

ACTION UPTOWN: CORNERSTONE OUTLOOK

3405.1

General. Buildings and structures, and parts thereof, shall be repaired in compliance with Section 3401.2. Work on nondamaged components that is necessary for the required repair of damaged components shall be considered part of the repair and shall not be subject to the requirements for alterations in this chapter. Routine maintenance required by Section 3401.2, ordinary repairs exempt from permit in accordance with Section 105.2, and abatement of wear due to normal service conditions shall not be subject to the requirements for repairs in this section.

3404.1

General. Except as provided by Section 3401.4 or this section, alterations to any building or structure shall comply with the requirements of the code for new construction. Alterations shall be such that the existing building or structure is no less complying with the provisions of this code than the existing building or structure was prior to the alteration.

ARC48_550 3405: REPAIRS

Section 3405 deals with Repairs. This applies to the part of the proposal that involves the restoration of the exterior of the church building. Subsection 3405.1 indicates that repairs are to be made to levels described in Section 3401.2, namely levels of normal safeness, and that routine maintenance is also required to maintain those safety levels.

3404: ALTERATIONS Section 3404 deals with Alterations. This applies to the community center and live/work parts of the proposal. Subsection 3404.1 indicates that the alterations must not reduce the buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s code compliance and must comply with code for new construction.

3403.1

General. Additions to any building or structure shall comply with the requirements of this code for new construction. Alterations to the existing building or structure shall be made to ensure that the existing building or structure together with the addition are no less conforming with the provisions of this code than the existing building or structure was prior to the addition. An existing building together with its additions shall comply with the height and area provisions of Chapter 5.

3403: ADDITIONS Section 3403 deals with Additions. This applies to the community lawn and storage parts of the proposal. Subsection 3403.1 indicates that the additions must not reduce the buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s code compliance and must comply with code for new construction.

CA3.03

ARC48_550 ACTION UPTOWN: CORNERSTONE OUTLOOK 3302: CONSTRUCTION SAFEGUARDS Section 3302 deals with Construction Safeguards. These are necessary precautions on a construction site. Subsection 3302.1 indicates that exits, fire protection, and sanitation are required to be maintained during construction of additions or alterations only if the building is occupied. Since the proposalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s construction will not be thus, these safeguards do not apply.

3307: PROTECTION OF ADJOINING PROPERTY Section 3307 deals with Protection of Adjoining Property. This is a regulation governing how nearby buildings are to be protected and warned of nearby construction. Subsection 3307.1 indicates that connecting walls and any roofs, foundations, footings, chimneys, and skylights must be protected during construction. Any water and erosion at the construction site must be controlled, as well as demolition. Also, notice of construction activities must be given to the nearby buildings no more than 10 days before construction begins.

3303: DEMOLITION Section 3303 deals with Demolition. Demolition is required in most of the proposal, largely in the live/ work and the lawn parts. Subsection 3303.1 indicates that the building official may require construction documents and a schedule of demolition.

3302.1

Remodeling and additions. Required exits, existing structural elements, fire protection devices and sanitary safeguards shall be maintained at all times during remodeling, alterations, repairs or additions to any building or structure. Exceptions: 1. When such required elements or devices are being remodeled, altered or repaired, adequate substitute provisions shall be made. 2. When the existing building is not occupied.

3307.1

Protection required. Adjoining public and private property shall be protected from damage during construction, remodeling and demolition work. Protection must be provided for footings, foundations, party walls, chimneys, skylights and roofs. Provisions shall be made to control water runoff and erosion during construction or demolition activities. The person making or causing an excavation to be made shall provide written notice to the owners of adjoining buildings advising them that the excavation is to be made and that the adjoining buildings should be protected. Said notification shall be delivered not less than 10 days prior to the scheduled starting date of the excavation.

3303.1

Construction documents. Construction documents and a schedule for demolition must be submitted when required by the building official. Where such information is required, no work shall be done until such construction documents or schedule, or both, are approved.

3303.2

Pedestrian protection. The work of demolishing any building shall not be commenced until pedestrian protection is in place as required by this chapter.

Subsection 3303.2 indicates that pedestrian protection must be in place before demolition can begin. As the proposal is adjacent to active sidewalks, this provision applies.

3304: SITE WORK Section 3304 deals with Site Work. This section applies mostly to the lawn part of the proposal, but may come into effect in the other parts too. Subsection 3304.1 indicates that any remaining chunks of wood or formwork be removed from the site before the building is occupied.

3304.1

Excavation and fill. Excavation and fill for buildings and structures shall be constructed or protected so as not to endanger life or property. Stumps and roots shall be removed from the soil to a depth of at least 12 inches (305 mm) below the surface of the ground in the area to be occupied by the building. Wood forms which have been used in placing concrete, if within the ground or between foundation sills and the ground, shall be removed before a building is occupied or used for any purpose. Before completion, loose or casual wood shall be removed from direct contact with the ground under the building.

1804.1

Excavation near foundations. Excavation for any purpose shall not remove lateral support from any foundation without first underpinning or protecting the foundation against settlement or lateral translation.

ARC48_550

1804: EXCAVATION, GRADING AND FILL Section 1804 deals with Excavation, Grading, and Fill. This applies because the live/work, lawn, and storage parts of the proposal include excavation work. Subsection 1804.1 indicates that any nearby foundations be supported before excavation commences. All three parts, the live/work, lawn, and storage, include excavation near the church building, so they would need to follow this provision.

1906.3

Conduits and pipes embedded in concrete. Conduits, pipes and sleeves of any material not harmful to concrete and within the limitations of ACI 318, Section 6.3, are permitted to be embedded in concrete with approval of the registered design professional.

1906: FORMWORK, EMBEDDED PIPES AND CONSTRUCTION JOINTS Section 1906 deals with Formwork, Embedded Pipes, and Construction Joints. The formwork regulations are standard, but since the lawn part of the proposal has an embedded sprinkler system, the part of the section dealing with embedded pipes applies. Subsection 1906.3 indicates that as long as the pipes are not harmful to the concrete they are in within the limitations in ACI, they can be embedded in the concrete.

112.2

Temporary connection. The building official shall have the authority to authorize the temporary connection of the building or system to the utility source of energy, fuel or power.

112: SERVICE UTILITIES Section 112 deals with Service Utilities. The community center, live/work space, and lawn parts of the proposal all use utilities, but may begin to use them at different times. Subsection 112.2 indicates that it is possible for utilities to be connected to a part of the building if allowed by the building official. This is important to allow for the function and occupancy of the parts of the proposal that are completed before the rest of the proposal is completed.

ARC48_550 ACTION UPTOWN: CORNERSTONE OUTLOOK 1604 : GENERAL DESIGN REQUIREMENTS Section 1604 deals with General Design Requirements. These are regulations defining structural and material design standards. This applies throughout the proposal.

1604.1

General. Building, structures and parts thereof shall be designed and constructed in accordance with strength design, load and resistance factor design, allowable stress design, empirical design or conventional construction methods, as permitted by the applicable material chapters.

Subsection 1604.1 indicates that any design should follow strength, load, stress and empirical design standards and methods. While the proposal does not go into specific load calculations, this section is important to keep in mind during design to allow for structural considerations.

1004 : OCCUPANT LOAD Section 1004 deals with the Occupant Load. This defines how many occupants the proposal may hold. From this calculation the number of required exits can be established, as analyzed in a later section.

1004.6

Mezzanine levels. The occupant load of a mezzanine level with egress onto a room or area below shall be added to that room or areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s occupant load, and the capacity of the exits shall be designed for the total occupant load thus established. TABLE 1004.1.1: MAXIMUM FLOOR AREA ALLOWANCES PER OCCUPANT:

Subsection 1604.6 indicates that a mezzanine is to be counted as part of the space below it for purposes of calculating occupant load.

Unconcentrated Assembly(tables and chairs) Exercise Rooms

50 gross sq. ft.

Table 1004.1.1 lists some functions and their maximum assignable floor square footages for occupant load calculation that are relevant to the proposal. Assuming a square footage for the part of the community center that is not used for exercise of 4000 sq. ft., 1000 sq. ft. for the exercise rooms, and 3000 sq. ft. for the live/work space, the total occupant load comes out to be 302.

Residential

200 gross sq. ft.

1028 : ASSEMBLY Section 1028 deals with Assembly. This applies to the community center part of the proposal. Subsection 1028.2 indicates that any building with an occupant load greater than 300 must have a main exit. According to Table 1004.1.1 from Section 1004, the occupant load for the community center part of the proposal is less than that. Thus it does not have to have a designated main exit and may follow standard regulations on exit count.

Assembly main exit. Group A occupancies and assembly occupancies accessory to Group E occupancies that have an occupant load of greater than 300 shall be provided with a main exit. The main exit shall be of sufficient width to accommodate not less than one-half of the occupant load, but such width shall not be less than the total required width of all means of egress leading to the exit. Where the building is classified as a Group A occupancy, the main exit shall front on at least one street or an unoccupied space of not less than 10 feet (3048 mm) in width that adjoins a street or public way.

1208.2

Minimum ceiling heights. Occupiable spaces, habitable spaces and corridors shall have a ceiling height of not less than 7 feet 6 inches (2286 mm). Bathrooms, toilet rooms, kitchens, storage rooms and laundry rooms shall be permitted to have a ceiling height of not less than 7 feet (2134 mm). Exceptions: ... 2. If any room in a building has a sloped ceiling, the prescribed ceiling height for the room is required in one-half the area thereof. Any portion of the room measuring less than 5 feet (1524 mm) from the finished floor to the ceiling shall not be included in any computation of the minimum area thereof. 3. Mezzanines constructed in accordance with Section 505.1.

505.1

General. A mezzanine or mezzanines in compliance with Section 505 shall be considered a portion of the story in which it is contained. Such mezzanines shall not contribute to either the building area or number of stories as regulated by Section 503.1. The area of the mezzanine shall be included in determining the fire area defined in Section 902. The clear height above and below the mezzanine floor construction shall not be less than 7 feet (2134 mm).

1009.2

Headroom. Stairways shall have a minimum headroom clearance of 80 inches (2032 mm) measured vertically from a line connecting the edge of the nosings. Such headroom shall be continuous above the stairway to the point where the line intersects the landing below, one tread depth beyond the bottom riser. The minimum clearance shall be maintained the full width of the stairway and landing.

1208: INTERIOR SPACE DIMENSIONS Section 1208 deals with Interior Space Dimensions. These regulations apply to the community center and live/work parts of the proposal. They regulate the redesigned partitions in the community center part and new partitions in the live/work part. Subsection 1208.1 indicates that habitable rooms must be more than 7 feet wide in any dimension and kitchens must have a passage of 3 feet or more between counters and walls or appliances. Both of these limitations apply to the proposal. Subsection 1208.2 indicates that habitable rooms and corridors must be 7 feet 6 inches or more in height, except for bathrooms, kitchens, storage rooms, and laundry rooms, which can be 7 feet in height. The second exception applies to the parts of the community center part of the proposal that have a sloped ceiling. In that case, only half of the area of that space is to be used to calculate the minimum height. The third exception is for mezzanines, which a part of the community center part of the proposal counts as, and specifies that Section 505.1 holds regulations concerning mezzanines.

505: MEZZANINES Section 505 deals with Mezzanines. This applies to the community center part of the proposal. Subsection 505.1 indicates that a mezzanine is to be considered part of the story that it is over and thus may not contribute to the building area, however it still counts towards the fire area. The height of the spaces below and part of the mezzanine has to be 7 feet or more.

1009: STAIRWAYS Section 1009 deals with Stairways. This applies to the community center and live/work parts of the proposal as both have new stairways. Subsection 1009.2 indicates that stairways must have a continuous headroom of 80 inches above any horizontal part of the stair. This is especially important for the community center part of the proposalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stair as there is little room for it.

This applies to the lawn part of the proposal as it incorporates an accessible ramp that leads to the community center. Subsection 1010.2 indicates that the ramp must not have a slope steeper than 1 to 12 if used for exit purposes or a slope not steeper than 1 to 8 if used for regular movement. Subsection 1010.6 indicates that the ramp must have landings at either end and at doors and that the length of each landing be at least 60 inches. Subsection 1010.7 indicates that the ramp be built out of regular building materials except that wood handrails are permitted. Since the ramp in the lawn part of the proposal is outdoors, it must be designed such that water cannot accumulate on its surfaces. Subsection 1010.8 indicates that a ramp with a rise of more than 6 inches must have handrails on both sides. Handrails are regulated in Section 1012.

1021 : NUMBER OF EXITS AND CONTINUITY Section 1021 deals with the Number of Exits and Continuity. This governs how many exits the proposal must have and may affect the design. Subsection 1021.1 indicates that all spaces in the proposal must have access to all of the exits and that the exits are to be determined by the occupant load. Based on Table 1021.1 and the previous calculation of an occupant load of 302, the proposal must have 2 exits.

3407: GLASS REPLACEMENT Section 3407 deals with Glass Replacement. This applies to the community center part of the proposal because of its existing dated glass assemblies. Subsection 1208.1 indicates that the replacement of glass is to be treated as installation of glass in new construction. Thus the condition of the existing panes does not matter.

Height restrictions. The structural frame of ground signs shall not be erected of combustible materials to a height of more than 35 feet (10668 mm) above the ground. Ground signs constructed entirely of noncombustible material shall not be erected to a height of greater than 100 feet (30 480 mm) above the ground. Greater heights are permitted where approved and located so as not to create a hazard or danger to the public.

1011.1

Where required. Exits and exit access doors shall be marked by an approved exit sign readily visible from any direction of egress travel. The path of egress travel to exits and within exits shall be marked by readily visible exit signs to clearly indicate the direction of egress travel in cases where the exit or the path of egress travel is not immediately visible to the occupants. Intervening means of egress doors within exits shall be marked by exit signs...

ARC48_550

H109: GROUND SIGNS Section H109 deals with Ground Signs. This applies to the lawn part of the proposal because of a proposed sign there that identifies Cornerstone Outlook. Subsection H109.1 indicates that signs made of combustible materials can be at most 35 feet tall and signs made of noncombustible materials can be at most 100 feet tall. Since the proposed sign is well under these limitations, this provision does not matter.

1011: EXIT SIGNS Section 1011 deals with Exit Signs. These regulations are important in the community center part of the proposal because it is proposed to have multiple exits. Subsection 1011.1 indicates that exit signs should mark exits and exit access doors and be readily visible. They should also be placed to mark a path of egress.

1012.1

Where required. Handrails for stairways and ramps shall be adequate in strength and attachment in accordance with Section 1607.7. Handrails required for stairways by Section 1009.12 shall comply with Sections 1012.2 through 1012.9. Handrails required for ramps by Section 1010.8 shall comply with Sections 1012.2 through 1012.8.

1012: HANDRAILS Section 1012 deals with Handrails. These are required on the accessible ramp that is part of the lawn part of the proposal.

1012.2

Subsection 1012.1 indicates that handrails be adequate in strength and attachment, which means they should withstand standard design loads.

1012.4

Subsection 1012.2 indicates that handrails are to be between 34 and 38 inches above the ramp surface.

Height. Handrail height, measured above stair tread nosings, or finish surface of ramp slope, shall be uniform, not less than 34 inches (864 mm) and not more than 38 inches (965 mm)... Continuity. Handrail-gripping surfaces shall be continuous, without interruption by newel posts or other obstructions.

Subsection 1012.4 indicates that handrails must also be continuous without breaks.

CA6.01

ARC48_550 ACTION UPTOWN: CORNERSTONE OUTLOOK WATER MANAGEMENT The introduction of a lawn in the proposal as well as roof modifications on the adjacent lot provide opportunities to reclaim or recycle stormwater. In the original configuration, the sloped roof of the church building allowed it to shed water to the sides. The building on the attached lot also has sloped roof conditions but many of them led to the water accumulating in inward-sloping corners. The lawn was also heavily sloped so the water there drained to the lowest point which was just off the southeast corner nearest the intersection. The biggest problems were that water would puddle in areas before it was able to get to a collection point and then to a sewer drain and that no water was reclaimed.

WATER RECLAMATION Once the proposal is in place, the simple roof of the old building is augmented by a system of guides on the roof of the adjacent lot as well as a perforated surface treatment that is part of the lawn. The guides can lead behind the building into a unified irrigation system that can keep the lawn watered without having to draw water from the city.

Figure 4.3:Early construction.

As the site is cleared larger and more permanent (for the duration of construction) equipment is brought in.

Figure 4.4: Site preparation.

After the heavy equipment is brought in, the affected areas of the sidewalks are fenced off and the construction sites are marked off. As there are sidewalks on the opposite sides of Forbes Avenue

and Seneca Street this should not be a hazard for foot traffic passing through the area.

LAWN SPRINKER SYSTEM MANAGEMENT This diagram shows the phasing and management of the lawnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sprinkler system.

To keep the lawn management easy for the Live\Work people, the lawn is on a timed controller that also has a manual setting. The sprinkler heads are strategically located so that the lawn is uniformly watered. The concrete grid allows for the ease of fixing the pipes if necessary.

The lawn consists of several types of low maintenance grass. The grid allows for sections of the lawn to be removed and replaced with flowers or bushes more 3 easily than a free range/terrain landscape.

The first step is demolition and clearing of the lawn. The second step is demolition and shoring the eastern facade of the church building. The third step is clearing and preparation of the church building. The fourth step is demolition and clearing of the adjacent lot.

ARC48_550 ACTION UPTOWN: CORNERSTONE OUTLOOK NEW CONSTRUCTION EXTRACTION New construction will begin with the adjacent lot and work backwards out. Both retrofit and new construction will follow a five step process. The first step is new construction and reuse of the adjacent lot. The second step is new construction of the storage wall and partition between the two lots. At this point the Live/Work space can be inhabited and occupied. The third step is retrofit and new construction inside the church building. The fourth step is new construction of the garage doors and sealing of church building. At this point the community center can be inhabited and occupied.

Figure 6.6: Diagram showing new construction and refurbishing inside the adjacent lot.

The fifth step is new construction of the lawn and renovation of the church exterior. Once the community center is operational, another further step exists. Five years down the line, this is the installation of a mobile storage unit.

The first step in the renovations is to eliminate the existing walls, stairs, and balcony. Any structural weaknesses must be braced to prevent collapse as future construction is installed.

The next step is to patch and resurface the scarring left by the removal of existing partitions.

GARAGE DOORS DEVELOPMENT The garage doors and lawn phase of construction will follow a nine step procedure. The first three steps will occur at the beginning of overall construction as the church building is prepared for retrofitting. The first step is to remove and set up temporary supports for the east facade.

Figure 6.35: East facade removal.

The second step is to remove and set up temporary supports for the east facade. At this point the double opening for the garage doors is left open so construction can move in and out to work on the Live\Work area and the retrofit and renovation of the church building.

Figure 6.36: East facade reinforcement.

The third step is to install the permanent supports that will later hold the garage doors. This happens once any large materials have been moved in or out of the building.

All four walls can potentially open out, activating new program through its extension of tools. When it is not in use by the community, one long wall can be flipped open to be used for private purposes by the Live\Work participant. Also, a shelving unit pivots out. When the mobile storage is stationed at the lawn, it can serve as a podium for the community space, a grill with a pivoting unit, and it can provide equipment such as tables and chairs.

Community Program Flow Diagrams, continued Plans have been drawn to provide a spatial correspondence to the other more conceptual diagrams on the left. The gym and the kitchen are two main spaces of activity on the basement level. The largest flexible space and the two smaller flexible spaces are on the ground floor level. The lawn can also be used for outdoor activities, and a portion of the lawn has been highlighted to show the possibility of a community garden. The enclosed balcony level can be used for meetings and seminars and is the more stationary and less flexible part of the program. It also has the potential to become a computer cluster.

ARC48_550 ACTION UPTOWN: CORNERSTONE OUTLOOK ACTIVITIES REVENUE MODEL This is a reference page from an activities guide in a suburban town with a population slightly smaller than Pittsburgh. The hope is that the multiple spaces in the community center can be rented out to instructors who are interesting in engaging the immediate and greater community of Pittsburgh in a variety of activities. These activities could include cardio workouts, dancing, arts and crafts, computer use and program training, martial arts classes, and seminar classes. The projected revenue below is based upon full usage.

REVENUE ANALYSIS

Expenses Available Funds

The projected revenue over 30 years utilizes the following variables and constants: a $300,000 loan, a mortage over 30 years, a yearly class and activities cost, a large maintentance expense every 10 years, the addition of the storage module after 5 years which would generate increasing income every 2 years, the receptionist whose pay increases every 5 years starting at $24,000, $15,000 yearly for utilities and $5,000 for supplies which becomes $8,000 after the storage module is installed. The class and activities cost can be at most $13,152 yearly, an aggressive and active rate. SCENARIO NUMBER ONE: HIGH MORTGAGE

$600,000.00

$400,000.00

$200,000.00

$0.00

In the event of a high mortgage, up to $570,000, the regular maintenance cost can only be $30,000, the classes and activities have to be the full $13,152 yearly, and the proposal breaks profit midway through year 9.

-$200,000.00

Figure 8.14: A class for pre-school children.

SCENARIO NUMBER TWO: LOW ACTIVITIES COST $400,000.00 $300,000.00 $200,000.00 $100,000.00 $0.00

If the proposal aims to make the class and activity services as low as possible, at $10,916, the mortgage can be at most $400,000, the regular maintenance cost can only be $30,000, and the proposal breaks profit at the start of year 7.

-$100,000.00

Figure 8.14: A class for pre-school children. $700,000.00

If the decennial maintenance cost is at its maximum of $100,000, one of two revenue paths can occur. The first is that the mortgage allowance rises to $486,000 with the class and activities cost at its maximum and the proposal breaking even in fall of the 5th year.

-$100,000.00 -$200,000.00 -$300,000.00

Figure 8.14: A class for pre-school children. $500,000.00 $400,000.00

The second path has the class and activities cost decrease to $11,986, the mortgage allowance lowers to $400,000, and the proposal breaks even halfway through year 3.

$300,000.00 $200,000.00 $100,000.00 $0.00 -$100,000.00 -$200,000.00
