Section 400.290 Non-Conforming Uses.
[R.O. 2011 § 400.290; Ord. No. 1161 § 1, 11-18-2013]
A.
Non-Conformity.
1.
A non-conforming lot, land use or structure is one which existed lawfully on the effective date of this Chapter or any amendment thereto and which fails to conform to one (1) or more of the applicable regulations of this Chapter or any amendment thereto. A non-conformity shall not be deemed to have existed on the date this Chapter or any amendment thereto becomes effective, unless:
2.
Such non-conformities may be incompatible with and detrimental to permitted land uses and structures in the zoning districts in which they are situated, they inhibit present and future development of nearby properties, and they confer upon their owners and users a position of unfair advantage.
B.
Statement Of Intent. Non-conformities are not to be expanded, and they should be abolished or reduced to conformity as quickly as the fair interest to the parties will permit.
C.
General Provisions.
1.
An existing non-conforming land use or structure shall not cause further departures from the Zoning Ordinance. Although an existing non-conformity may be continued, except as hereinafter limited, it may not be changed to another use, unless said use is permitted in the district in which it is situated, and provided it complies with the requirements of that district.
2.
The existence of any present non-conformity anywhere in the City shall not itself be considered grounds for the issuance of a variance for other property.
3.
Expansion. A non-conforming use of land shall not be enlarged, extended, or altered and a structure or part thereof devoted to a non-conforming use shall not be enlarged, extended, constructed, reconstructed, or structurally altered except:
4.
Density. The number of dwelling units in a non-conforming residential structure shall not be increased after said structure has become a non-conforming use.
5.
Ordinary Repair And Maintenance. Nothing in this Chapter shall be deemed to prohibit the restoration of any structure and its use where such structure has been destroyed by any means out of the control of the owner to an extent less than sixty percent (60%) of its replacement value (excluding the value of the land, the cost of preparation of land, and the value of any foundation adaptable to a conforming use) at the time of destruction; provided, however, that the restoration of such structure and its use in no way increases any former non-conformity, and provided that the restoration of such structure is begun within six (6) months of such destruction and diligently prosecuted to completion within one (1) year following such destruction.
6.
Substantial Repair And Maintenance. If a structure is destroyed by any means out of the control of the owner to an extent of more than sixty percent (60%) of its replacement value (excluding the value of the land, the cost of preparation of land, and the value of any foundation adaptable to a conforming use) at the time of destruction, as determined by the Administrative Official, the structure shall not be restored except in full conformity with all the regulations of the district in which such structure is situated. When a structure is determined to violate one (1) or more Code provisions by the proper Administrative Official of Owensville under any applicable ordinance of the City and the cost of placing the structure in condition to satisfy the standards under such ordinance shall exceed sixty percent (60%) of the reconstruction cost of the entire structure, such non-conforming structure shall not be restored for the purpose of continuing a non-conforming use. However, none of the restrictions contained in this Section shall limit the authority of the Board of Adjustment to grant relief for reconstruction of a non-conforming structure as provided in Section 400.620 of this Chapter.
7.
An exception to Subsection (C)(6) above shall be allowed for residential structures within "C-2" Commercial Zoning Districts to be rebuilt or repaired. Such construction shall be commenced within one hundred twenty (120) days of the damaging event. A property owner may make one (1) application for extension to the Board of Aldermen if exigent circumstances exist which prevent the construction or repairs to said residence within the "C-2" Zoning District.
8.
Moving. A non-conforming use of land shall not be moved to another part of a lot or outside the lot, and a non-conforming use of a structure shall not be moved to any part of the structure not manifestly arranged and designated for such use at the time the use became non-conforming.
D.
Abandonment Of Non-Conforming Uses.
1.
Any non-conforming use which has been abandoned, as defined below, shall not thereafter be reestablished. Any structure and/or land which was formerly devoted to a non-conforming use which has been abandoned shall not again be devoted to any use other than those uses which are permitted in the district in which the structure and/or land is situated.
2.
The term "abandonment," as used herein, shall mean the voluntary discontinuance of a use when accompanied by intent not to reestablish such use. Any one (1) of the following shall constitute prima facie evidence of intent to abandon:
a.
Any positive act indicating such intent;
b.
Any conscious failure to take all necessary steps to resume the non-conforming use with reasonable dispatch in the circumstances, including advertising of the property for sale or for lease;
c.
In the event that the non-conforming use of a building or premises is discontinued for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days or more, such building or premises shall thereafter be used only in conformity with the regulations of the district in which it is located.
