Zoning ordinance only; the subdivision ordinance is a scanned image on the town's site and is not included.
Tables (like use tables) may not copy cleanly, so check any table against the official code.
Confirm anything here with Cleveland planning before you rely on it.
It shall be the right of each property owner of a legal non-complying structure to rebuild said structure in the event of a fire, earthquake, flood or any other natural disaster, calamity or circumstance beyond the control of the property owner. Said property owner shall have a right to rebuild a non-complying structure, and continue any legal conforming or legal non-conforming use of the structure, that was in operation at the time of the disaster that significantly damaged or destroyed it. A non-complying structure may only be rebuilt if the structure is completely destroyed or sustains significant damage to the point of unsafe occupancy conditions as determined by the Building Official.
