(B) Existing Uses And Structures Newly Requiring Special Use Permit: The owners of any use or structure lawfully existing on the effective date of this chapter, or any amendment to it, that did not, prior to the effective date, require a special use permit but which, after the effective date, does require a special use permit, may continue the use or maintain the structure by securing a special use permit pursuant to the standards and procedures of § 159-2.307 of this chapter and other applicable provisions of this chapter. Unless and until a permit is secured, the use will be subject to the provisions of part 8 of this chapter dealing with nonconformities.
(C) Existing Planned Unit Developments: Prior to the effective date of this chapter (February 27, 2017), planned unit developments were approved as a stand-alone district rather than as a special use permit.

Individual uses and structures in a planned unit development district shall comply with the specific use, building location, height, building size, gross and net floor area ratios, lot size, open space ratio, and landscape surface ratio requirements set forth as conditions to the approval of the planned unit development, as well as those uses, restrictions, and requirements contained in the planned unit development district charts included as part 99, appendix A to this chapter.
