    Appendix 4-A "Notes and pre-existing nonconforming (PENC) conditions"

    Note 1: Temporary 72 hour permits may be issued for special event, display and storage, no more frequently than every 90 days.

    Note 2: Any exterior side yard (corner lot) adjacent to a lot fronting the side street shall be increased to match the required setback of that adjacent lot front yard setback For the purpose of this note, adjacent lots include those separated by a public alley. Note: limitations imposed by a pre-existing nonconformity.

    Note 3: Two trees up to 40 spaces; 3 trees 41 to 60 spaces etc. Minimum caliper: two (2) inches, measured at a height of 36" above grade.

    Note 4: Exception: One guard dog is permitted when contained by a 6' high security and containment fence.

    Note 5: The lowest permitted height of a structure resulting from the application of any yard set-back controls maximum height of all structures on the entire site; (i.e.: When any given set back is met, the maximum height of any structure on the site is fixed thereby; furthermore, where various yard set backs result in conflicting maximum heights the least height shall control.)

    Exception 1: Signs are not restricted by this provision.

    Exception 2: When upgrading from small scale to large scale standards: existing structures may be expanded but shall not be increased in height above the small scale provisions. New structures and additions may increase in height when in conformance with large scale provisions.

    Note: All provisions of section 3.06 "nonconformance" apply except as specifically modified below.

    PENC 0: Pre-existing nonconforming uses, structures or buildings shall not be increased (Refer to Paragraph 3.06.03 herein). To proceed with development the pre-existing nonconformity must be removed or corrected.

    PENC 1: Pre-existing nonconforming uses, structures or buildings shall not be increased; Exception: when yard is reduced as a result of street widening the building may be increased in size or value but such increase in size shall occur rearward of the newly created front yard set-back.

    PENC 2: Lots and tracts existing at the time of adoption of this ordinance shall not be limited by this provision. Lots or tracts included in a subsequent plat or replat shall be in full compliance.

    PENC 3: Entire facility shall be brought into full compliance with this provision, on a schedule as approved by the enforcement authority.

    PENC 4: Provision is mandatory for new and added facilities.

    PENC 5: Facility must be brought into compliance with provision within 18 months after commencement of improvement or repair or issuance of a building permit for same, whichever occurs earliest.

    PENC 6: Facility must be brought into compliance with provision within 36 months after commencement of improvement or repair or issuance of a building permit for same, whichever occurs earliest.

    PENC 7: Dense landscaping may be substituted for the opaque fence when approved by the zoning officer; failure of the landscaping to adequately screen shall be corrected by an opaque fence if so ordered by the zoning officer. Pre-existing non-conformance shall not be a defense.

    PENC 8: Pre-existing nonconforming parking and access drives shall lose this status and shall thereafter be paved with materials approved in article 6, herein, when any of the following conditions prevail:

    1.

    The addition of new mandatory parking,

    2.

    When parking is added by owner or tenant on a voluntary basis,

    3.

    At the creation of de facto parking. De facto parking shall be demonstrated by the addition of any flexible base material or reclaimed material intended to stabilize the driving surface and improve accessibility to motor vehicles or by damage to vegetation or rutting resulting from repeated access by motor vehicle traffic on a intermittent, but routine, basis for any 90 day period. This provision does not apply to construction sites authorized by a valid development permit.

    PENC 9: The pre-existing nonconformity ceases when the limits imposed by article 8 are exceeded. Refer to section 8.10 "stormwater management" herein.

    PENC 10: Properties with pre-existing nonconforming characteristics under this provision may continue to operate in nonconformity with this provision but may be required to be brought into compliance after complaints, followed by a review of the conditions and a decision by the board of adjustments. This procedure applies only to the zoning regulations.

    Appendix 4-B "Notes and pre-existing nonconforming (PENC) conditions"

    Note 1: Temporary 72 hour permits may be issued for special event, display and storage, no more frequently than every 90 days.

    Note 2: Any exterior side yard (corner lot) adjacent to a lot fronting the side street shall be increased to match the required setback of that adjacent lot front yard setback For the purpose of this note, adjacent lots include those separated by a public alley.

    Note 4: Exception -one guard dog is permitted when contained by a 6' high security and containment fence.

    Note 5: The lowest permitted height of a structure resulting from the application of any yard set-back controls maximum height of all structures on the entire site; (i.e.: When any given set back is met, the maximum height of any structure on the site is fixed thereby; furthermore, where various yard set backs result in conflicting maximum heights the least height shall control.)

    Exception 1: Signs are not restricted by this provision.

    Exception 2: When upgrading from small scale to large scale standards: existing structures may be expanded but shall not be increased in height above the small scale provisions. New structures and additions may increase in height when in conformance with large scale provisions.

    Note: All provisions of section 3.06 "nonconformance" apply except as specifically modified below.

    PENC 0: Pre-existing nonconforming uses, structures or buildings shall not be increased (Refer to Paragraph 3.06.03 herein). To proceed with development the pre-existing nonconformity must be removed or corrected.

    PENC 1: Pre-existing nonconforming uses, structures or buildings shall not be increased; Exception: when yard is reduced as a result of street widening the building may be increased in size or value but such increase in size shall occur rearward of the newly created front yard set-back.

    PENC 2: Lots and tracts existing at the time of adoption of this ordinance shall not be limited by this provision. Lots or tracts included in a subsequent plat or replat shall be in full compliance.

    PENC 3: Entire facility shall be brought into full compliance with this provision, on a schedule as approved by the enforcement authority.

    PENC 4: Provision is mandatory for new and added facilities.

    PENC 5: Facility must be brought into compliance with provision within 18 months after commencement of improvement or repair or issuance of a building permit for same, whichever occurs earliest.

    PENC 7: Dense landscaping may be substituted for the opaque fence when approved by the zoning officer; failure of the landscaping to adequately screen shall be corrected by an opaque fence if so ordered by the zoning officer. Pre-existing non-conformance shall not be a defense.

    PENC 8: Pre-existing nonconforming parking and access drives shall lose this status and shall thereafter be paved with materials approved in article 6, herein, when any of the following conditions prevail:

    1.

    The addition of new mandatory parking,

    2.

    When parking is added by owner or tenant on a voluntary basis,

    3.

    At the creation of de facto parking. De facto parking shall be demonstrated by the addition of any flexible base material or reclaimed material intended to stabilize the driving surface and improve accessibility to motor vehicles or by damage to vegetation or rutting resulting from repeated access by motor vehicle traffic on a intermittent, but routine, basis for any 90 day period. This provision does not apply to construction sites authorized by a valid development permit.

    PENC 9: The pre-existing nonconformity ceases when the limits imposed by article 8 are exceeded. Refer to section 8.10 "stormwater management" herein.

    PENC 10: Properties with pre-existing nonconforming characteristics under this provision may continue to operate in nonconformity with this provision but may be required to be brought into compliance after complaints, followed by a review of the conditions and a decision by the board of adjustments. This procedure applies only to the zoning regulations.
