§ 912.19. Nonconformities and related restrictions.

A nonconformity is "a lot, structure, use of land, or any combination thereof, which was lawful prior to the passage of present county land development regulations or any amendment thereto, but which would be prohibited or further restricted under the terms of such regulations or any amendment thereto."

(1)

Generally, no nonconformity can be enlarged, increased or changed to a different nonconformity unless, as determined by the community development director, the change results in a lessening of the degree of nonconformity.

(2)

Additions to site related nonconformities must comply with existing regulations.

(3)

Nonconforming structures may be repaired and maintained as long as such work does not expand the nonconformity and as long as such work does not exceed fifty (50) percent of the cost of the building's assessed value on the latest tax roll.

Further information on these types of restrictions, prohibitions, and regulations are contained in Chapter 904, Nonconformities.
