NON-CONFORMING USES
Any non-conforming use may be continued but may not be extended or expanded or changed unless to a conforming use, except as permitted by the Board in accordance with the provisions of this chapter, provided, however, that such continuance is in conformity with any conditions established by the Board, or previous board, or City Council, under a previous zoning ordinance for a zoning variation.
(Ord. 1347, passed 3-18-1991)
Any legal non-conforming structure damaged by fire, flood, explosion or other causality subsequent to the date of this chapter may be reconstructed and used as before if such reconstruction is performed within 12 months of the date of such causality and if the restored structure covers no greater area and contains no greater cubic content than before such causality. If approved by the Board, a reconstructed structure may exceed its original lot coverage and cubic content, but must meet the minimum yard requirements of the district in which the structure is located and must meet the off-street parking and loading requirements of this chapter.
(Ord. 1461, passed 7-18-2005)
The non-conforming use of a building may be extended throughout those parts thereof which were manifestly arranged or designed for such use at the time of adoption of this chapter. A non-conforming building or structure may, with the approval of the Board, be extended, enlarged or replaced but must meet the minimum yard requirements of the district in which the structure is located and must meet off-street parking and loading requirements of this chapter. No change in a non-conforming use which increases vehicle traffic or is otherwise objectionable to the neighborhood shall be permitted by the Board.
(Ord. 1347, passed 3-18-1991)
Nothing contained herein shall require any change in the overall layout, plans, construction, size or designated use of any development, building, structure or part thereof for which official approval and required permits have been granted, or where no approvals are necessary, where construction has been legally started before the enactment of this chapter and complete within a one-year period.
