(Ord. 121-1962. Passed 1247-62.)
(b) Permit the extension of a nonconforming use or building existing upon the lot or tract occupied by such use or building at the time of the passage of this Planning and Zoning Code. This permission is subject to the approval of Council.
(Ord. 170-1962. Passed 1-28-63.)

(d) The Board, subject to confirmation and approval by Council, may grant, in U4 Districts, and on lots in U1, U2 and U3 Districts adjoining U4 Districts, renewable permits for a period not exceeding one year for public parking lots and for private parking lots providing storage for more than six cars, the validity of such permits to be conditioned upon adherence to plans for access drives, grading, improvement and landscaping of such parking lots submitted to the Board and approved by it at the time of the granting of the permit, provided that such permits may be refused for property fronting on main traffic streets if, in the opinion of the Board, such use would contribute to traffic hazard and congestion, or would interfere with the proper development of adjoining frontage. (Ord. 170-1962. Passed 1-28-63.)
