City Zoning Code

18.10.289 Conversion

of public and semipublic development.

When the need for an existing public or semipublic development in any zone no longer exists, the building may be converted to those uses listed in the zone in which it is located. The development may be converted to any use allowed in the base zone if a special use permit is approved by the Hearing Examiner after public hearing. The Hearing Examiner must find the existing development suitable for the proposed use and that the proposed use is not unduly detrimental to the immediately surrounding properties. To qualify for the special use permit hearing, the public or semipublic development may not have more than 12,000 square feet of total floor area in any building, which building must have been constructed to house the public or semipublic use and operated as such use for a minimum of five years. [Ord. 24-042 § 12, 5-14-24.]
