Any person may remain in a legally existing residence while obtaining a building or installation permit to build or install a new home on the same property, so long as they have successfully and legally converted the existing home into an accessory cottage house or a second residence per the Latah County Land Use Ordinance or applied for and successfully obtained a land division so the existing home will be on its own legal parcel. Alternatively, if a person does not want to or cannot legally keep the existing residence, the owner shall file an affidavit (provided by the Building Department) with the Building Department. The affidavit shall state that the owner will remove the existing home prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy and prior to any occupancy of the new structure. The owner shall comply with the conditions agreed to in the affidavit. (Ord. 384, 12-14-2021)
