    1. 1.   For purposes of determining the license fee for the license year, the value of improvements and improvement square footage attributable to the building, structure, or addition will be deemed to be zero; and
    2. 2.   If prior to completion of the license year, Portland Permitting & Development issues an authorization to occupy new residential improvements on the property, then the license fee payable for the license year will be adjusted.
