Proposed uses only allowable through an overlay district designation may not utilize the re-use/redevelopment plan process. Proposals which do not meet the eligibility requirements of Section 3.11.3 are required to undergo the normal development plan review process and/or the special use process (see Sections 3.8 and 10.1.8) in cases of expansion or major alteration.
Proposals involving a change in use that, although may be permitted within the underlying zoning district, will increase the intensity of the use(s) originally approved, will be required to demonstrate compliance with the current Ordinance requirements applicable to the proposed change prior to the issuance of a Building Permit and/or Certificate of Occupancy. Demonstrating compliance can be accomplished either through the development plan or re-use/redevelopment plan process, whichever is applicable.
Proposals for nonconforming sites or structures that have been vacant for less than one hundred eighty (180) calendar days and do not involve, either proposed or required, any changes to the site or exterior of the structure shall be reviewed during the Building Permit and/or Certificate of Occupancy process for compliance with the approved development plan or ordinance requirements in effect at the time it was established. If one (1) or more aspects of the site and/or structure fail to comply with the applicable plan approval or ordinance requirements, the deficiencies shall be corrected and the Planning Director must verify compliance prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy.
