An addition that is structurally independent from an existing structure shall be designed and constructed with the seismic requirements for new structures. An addition that is not structurally independent from an existing structure shall be designed and constructed such that the entire structure conforms to the seismic-force-resistance requirements for new structures unless the following conditions are satisfied:
    1. The addition conforms with the requirements for new structures,
    2. The addition does not increase the seismic forces in any structural element of the existing structure by more than 10 percent cumulative since the original construction, unless the element has the capacity to resist the increased forces determined in accordance with ASCE 7 as adopted by the commission at 675 IAC 13-2.5-34, and
    3. Addition does not decrease the seismic resistance of any structural element of the existing structure by more than 10 percent cumulative since the original construction, unless the element has the capacity to resist the forces determined in accordance with ASCE 7 as adopted by the commission at 675 IAC 13-2.5-34. If the building's seismic base shear capacity has been increased since the original construction, the percent change in base shear may be calculated relative to the increased value.
    (C) Add a new subsection 1613.3.2 to read as follows: 1613.3.2 Alterations. Alterations are permitted to be made to any structure without requiring the structure to comply with Section 1613, provided the alterations conform to the requirements for a new structure. Alterations that increase the seismic force in any existing structural element by more than 10 percent cumulative since the original construction or decrease the design strength of any existing structural element to resist seismic forces by more than five percent cumulative since the original construction shall not be permitted unless the entire seismic-force-resisting system is determined to conform to ASCE 7 as adopted by the commission at 675 IAC 13-2.5-34 for a new structure. If the building's seismic base shear capacity has been increased since the original construction, the percent change in base shear may be calculated relative to the increased value.
    Exception: Alterations to existing structural elements or additions of new structural elements that are not required by ASCE 7 as adopted by the commission at 675 IAC 13-2.5-34 and are initiated for the purpose of increasing the strength or stiffness of the seismic-force-resisting system of an existing structure need not be designed for forces conforming to ASCE 7 as adopted by the commission at 675 IAC 13-2.5-34, provided that an engineering analysis is submitted indicating the following:
    1. The design strength of existing structural elements required to resist seismic forces is not reduced.
    2. The seismic force to required existing structural elements is not increased beyond their design strength.
    3. New structural elements are detailed and connected to the existing structural elements as required by Chapter 16.
    4. New or relocated nonstructural elements are detailed and connected to existing or new structural elements as required by Chapter 16.
    5. The alterations do not create a structural irregularity as defined in ASCE 7 as adopted by the commission at 675 IAC 13-2.5-34 or make an existing structural irregularity more severe.
    6. The alterations do not result in the creation of an unsafe condition.
    (D) Add a new subsection 1613.3.3 to read as follows: 1613.3.3 Change of occupancy. When a change of occupancy results in a structure being reclassified to a higher occupancy category, the structure shall conform to the seismic requirements for the higher occupancy category.
    Exceptions: 1. Specific seismic detailing requirements of this code or ASCE 7 as adopted by the commission at 675 IAC 13-2.5-34 for a new structure shall not be required to be met where it can be shown that the level of performance and seismic safety is equivalent to that of a new structure. Such analysis shall consider the regularity, overstrength, redundancy, and ductility of the structure within the context of the existing and retrofit (if any) detailing provided.
    2. When a change of use results in a structure being reclassified from Occupancy Category I or II to Occupancy Category III and the structure is located in a seismic map area where SDS < 0.33, compliance with the seismic requirements of this code and ASCE 7 as adopted by the commission at 675 IAC 13-2.5-34 are not required.
    (17) Amend Section 1613.5.6 by adding an exception to read as follows: Exception: The seismic design category need not exceed Seismic Design Category C for buildings and structures in Seismic Use Groups I, II, and III for Class 1 buildings and structures other than schools and hazardous material storage/use structures.
