ORDINANCE NO. 841
EXHIBIT "A"
NONCONFORMING LOTS, BUILDINGS AND USES
25.76.075 Conforming process for legal
nonconforming residential uses in
residential and office professional zones
Legal nonconforming residential uses in R-1, R-2, R-3 and OP zones may apply for legal
conforming status if they are brought into substantial compliance with present design
quality standards. The architectural commission shall receive and review applications for
conforming status. As part of their review the architectural commission may require
significant upgrading and rehabilitation of the existing facility consistent with the constraints
of the original site plan. Reduction in the project dwelling unit total will only be considered
if it is required to protect public health and safety. If a rehabilitation plan is approved by the
architectural commission, required work must occur within one year. Once the plan has
been satisfactorily completed, a certificate of conforming status will be issued. Certificates
of conformance include a requirement that the project be maintained substantially in the
condition specified by the rehabilitation plan, in perpetuity. Failure to maintain the property
could result in revocation of conforming status. Decision of the architectural commission
may be appealed to the city council.'
