I have a 0.15-acre restaurant site in Hillsboro, Oregon (street view here: [login to view URL]). Instead of tearing everything down and triggering a full “new build” permit, I want to reposition or extend the existing structure intelligently. The target areas are the entry/lobby, kitchen-dining zones, and storage-utility sections, leaving as much of the core footprint intact as possible. What I need now is a combined feasibility and drafting service: • Speak directly with the City of Hillsboro and Washington County planning & building departments on my behalf to confirm what qualifies as “alteration” versus “new construction,” any threshold square-foot or structural limits, parking or ADA implications, and the submittal sequence. • Produce clear schematic site and floor plans (AutoCAD, Revit, or SketchUp are all fine) that illustrate the partial relocation/extension concept, so officials can react to something concrete. • Summarize the conversations and code references in writing, highlighting any tweaks we can make to stay within the simpler permit path. Accuracy to Oregon Structural Specialty Code, energy, fire/life-safety, and restaurant health rules is essential; the drawings must be detailed enough for a formal pre-application meeting. If the study shows a green light, I expect to award a second phase for the full permit set, so please keep layer naming, scaling, and file organization consistent for easy handoff. Let me know your proposed timeline, similar projects you have handled in Oregon, and how you prefer to structure communications with the authorities.

As an architectural engineer specializing in Building Information Modeling (BIM) who's also well-versed in several key tools like AutoCAD, Revit, SketchUp, I'm thrilled about the prospect of using my skills to solve your restaurant relocation puzzle. Over the years, I've successfully created and maintained 3D models that ensured accurate design representation and construction details for various projects. With my competence in using Revit or SketchUp, I can definitely provide you with clear and detailed schematic site and floor plans just as you need. Above all, my proficiency in BIM Automation via Dynamo can significantly expedite the process of generating parametric families and data extraction for quantity takeoffs, which is crucial for a comprehensive feasibility study like this. Not only can I navigate different building codes effortlessly (such as Oregon Structural Specialty Code), but I've also dealt closely with local governing bodies hence would be able to effectively communicate your proposed project alterations as compared to new construction definition to the City of Hillsboro and Washington County planning & building departments. Moreover, since you intend on awarding the permit phase promptly if the feasibility study shows positive outcomes, it's important to keep layer naming, scaling, and file organization consistent for easy handover. This is something others might not think of now but is crucial for future handovers.

Hello, Your project is exactly the type of feasibility-first approach that can save significant time, cost, and permitting complexity. Rather than assuming a full redevelopment, I would begin by determining whether the proposed work can qualify as an alteration or addition while preserving enough of the existing structure to avoid triggering a new building classification where permitted by local regulations. My proposed approach is structured in two phases, with the first focused entirely on reducing permitting risk before investing in full construction documents. Phase 1 – Feasibility & Authority Coordination Review the existing building, site information, available records, aerial imagery, and your renovation objectives. Prepare preliminary schematic concepts showing how the entry, lobby, kitchen/dining areas, storage, and utility spaces can be repositioned or expanded while retaining as much of the existing building as practical. Coordinate directly with the City of Hillsboro Planning and Building Division, Washington County agencies (where applicable), and any other required authorities to clarify: Alteration versus new construction thresholds Structural modification limitations Building area and occupancy implications ADA accessibility requirements Parking requirements Fire and life-safety impacts Energy code considerations Health department review requirements for restaurant facilities Pre-application meeting requirements Required submission sequence and documentation Prepare written meeting notes summarizing agency feedback, applicable code references, potential risks, and recommended strategies to maximize the likelihood of remaining within the preferred permitting pathway. Deliverables Schematic site plan Existing and proposed floor plan concepts Building massing and expansion diagrams Preliminary code analysis Feasibility report with recommendations Editable CAD/Revit/SketchUp source files PDF presentation package suitable for pre-application meetings If Phase 1 confirms the preferred permitting strategy is viable, I can continue with Phase 2, including a complete permit package with coordinated architectural drawings, code compliance documentation, and consultant coordination while maintaining consistent file organization, layers, scales, and BIM/CAD standards for seamless project development. I typically use AutoCAD and Revit for documentation, with SketchUp available for rapid concept development and presentation. Communication with authorities is managed through a documented process that includes scheduled meetings or calls, written follow-ups, and a consolidated action log so every decision and code interpretation is clearly recorded. I would be happy to discuss the existing building documentation you already have available, along with the anticipated expansion size and operational requirements, to develop a realistic timeline for the feasibility study and authority coordination. Best regards, Anthony M.

Hey there I can support your restaurant repositioning project in Hillsboro, Oregon by developing a combined feasibility study and schematic drafting package that helps determine what can be modified under “alteration” rules versus triggering full new construction under local permitting frameworks. With experience in commercial renovation and code-driven design, I will analyze the existing footprint, propose intelligent partial relocation/extension options for entry, kitchen-dining, and service areas, and align the concept with Oregon Structural Specialty Code, ADA, fire/life-safety, and food service requirements. I will translate the preferred strategy into clear schematic CAD/Revit drawings showing compliant massing, circulation, and functional zoning so the Washington County, Oregon planning and building departments can review a concrete concept during pre-application. The process also includes a structured written summary of code interpretation, constraints, and design adjustments required to remain within the simplest approval pathway while keeping future expansion flexibility. I will organize all layers, naming conventions, and file structure so the concept can transition cleanly into a full permit set if the feasibility outcome is positive.
