That the application of this chapter to the lot or building would create practical difficulties because the lot is exceptionally irregular, narrow, shallow or steep, or because the lot or building is subject to other exceptional physical conditions unique to it and not applicable to other lots or buildings in the same zoning district; or

(2)

That the application of this chapter to the lot or building would result in unnecessary hardship not applicable to other property in the same zoning district that deprives the owner of the reasonable use of the land or building; and

(3)

That the practical difficulties or unnecessary hardships were not created by the applicant for the variance; and

(4)

That the variance is the minimum necessary to prevent a practical difficulty or an unnecessary hardship; and

Except as provided elsewhere in this chapter, if a nonconforming use is stopped for two years or more, then it must conform to the use regulations.

Where the sale of alcoholic beverages or a smoke shop becomes a nonconforming use, that use shall be considered to have been abandoned if the sale of alcoholic beverages or the use as a smoke shop is discontinued for a period of one year or if the permit or license issued by the state for a period of one year or is revoked. Once the nonconforming use is abandoned, then it must conform to the use regulations.

(d)

A nonconforming use may not be enlarged, extended, reconstructed or structurally altered, except that:

(1)

A nonconforming use damaged or destroyed to an extent of less than 60 percent of its fair market value by a fire, explosion, act of God or the public enemy may be reconstructed but not enlarged or extended.

Buildings or structures which are nonconforming as to the parking regulations of this chapter shall not be added to or enlarged in any manner unless the parking spaces required for such addition under this chapter are provided.

(Ord. No. 1986-49, § 1(3.804), 9-16-86)

The board of adjustment may make the following orders concerning nonconforming uses:

(1)

Permit the reconstruction of a building occupied by a nonconforming use if such reconstruction does not prevent the return of such building to a conforming use; or

(2)

Permit the extension or enlargement of a building occupied by a nonconforming use, under such conditions as the board of adjustment finds necessary to protect other property in the neighborhood. The board must find that such extension or enlargement:

a.

Does not prevent the return of such building to a conforming use; and

b.

Does not exceed 50 percent of the ground area of the existing building; and

c.

Will not prevent compliance with applicable side yard requirements; or

(3)

Require the discontinuance of a nonconforming use under a plan filed by the applicant and approved by the board of adjustment which provides for the amortization of the full value of the building within a reasonable number of years, taking into consideration the general character of the neighborhood and the necessity for all property to conform to the regulations of this chapter; or

(4)

Permit a nonconforming use to be changed to another nonconforming use, provided:

a.

The proposed use will be more compatible with the surrounding neighborhood and less intrusive than the existing nonconforming use.
