2-3-080 Other Nonconformity

A. Applicability. This section shall apply to any other nonconformity except nonconforming signs, including, but not limited to, improper fence height or location; lack of buffers or screening; lack of or inadequate landscaping; lack of or inadequate off-street parking; and any other nonconformity not addressed by Sections 2-3-050, 23-060, and 2-3-070 of this Chapter. B. Nonconforming Development with Approved Plan. Nonconforming development that is consistent with an approved site plan or other approval granted before the effective date of this Code shall be deemed in conformance with this Code to the extent it is consistent with the approved plan and to the extent such plan or conditions imposed thereon directly address the specific issue involved in a determination of conformity. Such nonconforming development, other than circumstances enumerated in Sections 2- 3-050, 2-3-060, and 2-3-070 of this Chapter, shall be brought into conformance upon the occurrence of any one of the following: 1. Any increase of more than thirty (30) percent in floor area or fifty (50) percent of the value of the building or premises; or 2. For a lot located in a commercial or industrial zone, any change that requires the issuance of a new certificate of occupancy. C. Time for Compliance. Because nonconformities addressed in this section involve less investment and are more easily corrected than those addressed in Sections 2-3-050, 2-3060, and 2-3-070 of this Chapter, the intent of the County is to eliminate such nonconformities as quickly as practicable. The extent of such nonconformities shall not be increased.
