24.00 - Nonconformities.
24.01 Intent.
Within districts established by the Code, there may exist lots, structures, and use of land or structures which were lawful prior to the adoption of this Code or amendment, but which would be prohibited, regulated, or restricted under the terms established herein. It is the intent of this Code to permit such legal nonconformities to continue until they are removed by economic or other forces, but not to encourage their survival or replacement due to their inconsistency with the provisions established herein. It is further the intent of this Code eventually to require all uses of land or structures to conform to this Code.
24.02 Nonconforming lots of record.
(A)
In any district in which residential dwellings are permitted, a lot which is nonconforming in terms of the minimum requirements for lot area or lot width, or both, may be constructed upon with a residential dwelling provided:
(1)
The lot was a lot of record on the effective date of this Code.
(2)
The lot was not created in violation of a previous zoning ordinance.
(B)
Nonconforming lots of record shall not be further reduced by area or width.
(C)
The other dimensional regulations of the district in which the lot is located, including, but not limited to, minimum yards, and maximum lot coverage shall apply.
(D)
Prior to the issuance of a building permit for a nonconforming lot, a nonconforming lot of record opinion shall be obtained from the Planning Director.
(E)
Any lot or parcel which is reduced in size by less than twenty-five percent (25%) as a result of eminent domain proceedings, or through a voluntary conveyance in lieu of formal eminent domain proceedings, shall be considered a buildable lot of record for the purposes of this Code.
24.03 Nonconforming structures.
(A)
No nonconforming structures may be enlarged or altered in any way which increases its nonconformity except by variance approval from the Board of Appeals. The Planning and Zoning Director may allow minor encroachments into normally prescribed building setbacks in order to accommodate a building addition to a principal dwelling unit to align with the side of an existing nonconforming structure where no variance has previously been granted provided that:
(1)
The total floor area of the encroaching portion of an addition does not exceed 100 square feet.
(2)
The encroaching structure is not located closer than 5 feet to a property line.
(3)
The encroaching structure does not enter any easement or interfere with the use of the easement for its intended purpose.
(4)

(5)
A letter of no objection is provided from adjoining property owners.
(B)
If a nonconforming structure is damaged by fire, natural elements, or force beyond control of the owner, to an amount greater than 50% of its appraised valuation for tax purposes on the day immediately preceding such loss, said structure shall only be rebuilt to conform to the regulations of this Code and the City's Building Code.
(C)

(1)
No additional living unit is created;
(2)
The required parking ratio for residential uses specified under Section 147.04(G)(1) is met; and
(3)
The Planning and Zoning Director determines the expansion is appropriate to the property in question and is reasonably compatible in terms of scale and character with the property and the adjacent uses; and
(4)
Prior to issuing a building permit to allow the proposed expansion, the City shall send by first class mail, written notice of the pending approval to each property owner within 500 feet of the subject property based on the latest available tax records of the Pinellas County Appraiser's Office. The notice shall include the location, nature and extent of the proposed enlargement, where the permit application may be inspected by the public, and the procedure and timeframe for filing an appeal of the Planning and Zoning Director's compatibility determination pursuant to the following subsection. The City shall simultaneously post said notice in a conspicuous location on the subject property.
(5)
The applicant or an affected property owner may appeal the Planning and Zoning Director's compatibility determination to the Board of Appeals by filing a letter to the City Clerk within thirty days from the date the public notice being issued. In exercising its powers under Section 234.00 of this Code, the Board may reverse or affirm, wholly or partly or may modify the compatibility determination of the Planning and Zoning Director.
(B)
If the nonconforming use of a structure or land ceases for any reason, except where governmental action impedes access to the site, for a period of more than six (6) months or for any intermittent period amounting to six (6) months in any one year, use of the structure or land shall conform to the regulations of this Code. Provided, however, the City Commission, upon receiving a written request from the property owner or his or her representative, may authorize, at its sole discretion, a six-month extension to the six-month period prior to its expiration for properties in the Community Redevelopment District when the continuance of the nonconforming use is deemed not to be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, or welfare. The nonconforming use of a structure shall not be deemed to have ceased if the property is undergoing a renovation with an active building permit causing the structure to be uninhabitable during the renovation.
(C)
There may be a change of tenancy, ownership, or management of a nonconforming use provided there is no change in nature or character of such nonconforming use.
(D)
If the nonconforming use of land or of a structure is replaced by a conforming use of land or of a structure, a nonconforming use shall not thereafter be re-established on the same site.
(E)
If the nonconforming use of a structure is damaged by fire, natural elements, or force beyond control of the owner, to an amount greater than 50% of its appraised valuation for tax purposes on the day immediately preceding such loss, use of the site shall thereafter conform to the regulations of this Code.
(F)
The casual, temporary, or illegal use of land or structures shall not be sufficient to establish the existence of a nonconforming use.
(Ord. No. 2012-16, § 1, 10-1-2012)

Generally, the provisions governing specific characteristics of use and their expansion are found elsewhere in this Code.
24.07 Nonconformities as a result of a taking.
Existing characteristics of use which become nonconforming or increase in nonconformity as a result of a taking, including, but not limited to, minimum lot size, setbacks, open space, off-street parking, landscape requirements, drainage and retention, shall not be required to meet code requirements as a result of the taking of real property for public use.
