As required by M.S. § 462.357, as it may be amended from time to time, any Nonconformity, including the lawful Use or occupation of land or premises existing at the time of the adoption of these zoning regulations, may be continued, including through repair, replacement, restoration, maintenance or improvement, but not including expansion, unless the Nonconformity or occupancy is discontinued for a period of more than one year, or any nonconforming Use is destroyed by fire or other peril to the extent of greater than 50% of its market value, and no Building permit has been applied for within 180 days of when the property is damaged. In this case, the City Council may impose reasonable conditions upon a Building permit in order to mitigate any newly created impact on adjacent property. A subsequent Use or occupancy of the land or premises shall be a conforming Use or occupancy.
Notwithstanding division (A), the City may regulate the repair, replacement, maintenance, improvement, or expansion of nonconforming Uses and Structures in floodplain areas to the extent necessary to maintain eligibility in the National Flood Insurance Program and not increase flood damage potential or increase the degree of obstruction of flood flows in the floodwall.
Nonconforming shoreland Lots of record are subject to the provisions of M.S. § 462.357, as it may be amended from time to time.
