Mountain Village City Zoning Code

17.3.18 Nonconforming

Structures.

A. A structure is considered nonconforming, when at the adoption of this CDC or any amendment hereto, such structure is otherwise lawful but would not be approved under this CDC or amendment hereto. The structure may continue to exist so long as it remains otherwise lawful subject to the following conditions:

1. No such nonconforming structure may be enlarged or altered, the effect of which is to increase its nonconformity. However, any structure or portion thereof may be altered, the effect of which is to decrease its nonconformity.

2. In the event fifty percent (50%) or more of such nonconforming structure or nonconforming portion of such structure should be damaged or destroyed by fire or other peril and such structure is not repaired or replaced within one (1) year from the date of loss, it shall be reconstructed in conformity with the provisions of this CDC.

3. In the event such structure is relocated for any reason, whether on the same lot or other lot, it shall thereafter conform to the regulations for the zone district in which it has been relocated.

4. Ordinary repairs and maintenance of a structure containing a nonconforming use are permitted.
