The types of other nonconformities to which this section applies include, but are not limited to, landscaping, off street parking and loading, curb cuts, accessory buildings or structures (except nonconforming signs) and other nonconformities not involving signs, structural aspects of a principal building, lot dimensions, or use of the property.
(A) Continuation: Other nonconformities, as defined by this section, may remain subject to the regulations of this section.
(B) Alteration And Expansion: Unless otherwise stated in this title, the zoning administrator is authorized to permit the alteration, expansion, or enlargement of buildings, structures or other site improvement on sites with other nonconformities, provided that the zoning administrator determines that such alteration or expansion will not increase the degree of nonconformity. An alteration or expansion or to a building that increases the number of required parking spaces or further reduces the amount of landscaping (where the existing number of parking spaces or amount of landscaping is currently not in compliance with this title) are examples of increases in the degree of nonconformity.
(C) Reduction In Nonconformities: Over time, it is the intent of this title to eliminate or reduce the degree of nonconformities to the maximum extent feasible as buildings, sites, or parking areas are redeveloped or expanded. Examples of the manner in which nonconformities could be reduced are the following:
1. Construction of additional parking spaces on sites that do not meet parking requirements; and
2. Installation of required landscaping within a newly constructed portion of a parking lot that does not meet landscaping requirements. (Ord. 1379, 6-9-2008)
