Title
Conduct a public hearing and consider adopting Ordinance No. 3598 amending the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance including amending: Article 6. Administration as it relates to nonconforming regulations for uses, structures and other property improvements, and jurisdiction of the Board of Adjustment; and take appropriate action
Body
BACKGROUND:
A review of the nonconforming provisions of the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance (CZO) is a FY2018-19 strategic initiative, consistent with the Planning Department's work program and City Council's critical business outcomes. Given the new vision established in the East Side Plan and the upcoming IH-35E visioning study, it is appropriate to review the nonconforming provisions within the CZO to ensure that the provisions are supportive of redevelopment that occurs within these aforementioned areas, as well as the City as a whole.
The proposed amendments are to Article 6., Administration as it relates to nonconforming regulations for uses, structures and other property improvements (Article 6.6), and jurisdiction of the Board of Adjustment (Article 6.1.D.1). The amendments have the aim of tightening regulation of nonconforming uses and property improvements to encourage development in conformance with current zoning regulations and to address matters not currently covered under the current nonconforming provisions such as site elements and property impacts due to property acquisition by a governmental entity.
