(a) Upon the passage of an ordinance by City Council establishing an Overlay District, no initial rental unit license shall be issued to an owner of property in the Overlay District that is inconsistent with the restrictions of the Overlay District, and it shall be unlawful to use or allow any property to be used except in conformity with requirements of the underlying zoning district and Overlay District.
Any property in the Overlay District that has an existing rental housing permit shall be allowed to continue its use and occupancy in accordance with the law existing prior to the date of the adoption of the Overlay District. If an owner surrounds an existing license or allows, either intentionally or unintentionally, a license to remain expired for more than one year, any subsequent use of the property shall be subject to the restrictions imposed by the Overlay District.
(b) Except as set forth in Section 1146.03(c), if a petition pursuant to this section is denied, a subsequent petition for an Overlay District that includes the same parcels may not be filed for one year following the denial of the previous petition.
(c) Any Overlay District petition not adopted within six months of its filing shall be deemed denied unless the petition was tabled or otherwise delayed pursuant to Section 1146.03(c). (Ord. 3187. Passed 9-18-12.)
