Ridgeway City Zoning Code

14.25.01

Existing nonconforming uses.

The lawful nonconforming use of a structure, land, or water existing at the time of the adoption or amendment of this ordinance may be continued although the use does not conform with the provisions of this ordinance.

Only that Portion of the land or water in actual use may be so continued and the structure may not be extended, enlarged, reconstructed, substituted, moved, or structurally altered except when required to do so by law or order so as to comply with the provisions of this ordinance.

Total Lifetime Structural Repairs or alterations shall not exceed 50% of the Village's current equalized assessed value of the structure unless it is permanently changed to conform to the use provisions of this ordinance.

Changes of Use may be permitted by the Zoning Board of Appeals if such changes will reduce the incompatibility of the nonconforming use with the neighboring uses.
