<br /> 1310: M1Nl/\lfUAI COlli/PLIANCE REQUIRE/vfENTS . <br /> Section 1310.03 is cntirely new and is a departure from the current zoning regulations. <br /> Background infonnation for the two proposcd subdivisions in 1310.03 is providcd below. <br /> SubcLL If a property is composed of two or more "Lots of Record," the City's zoning <br /> and subdivision regulations currently do not rcquire thc propcrty owner to go through thc <br /> subdivision process to revert a property back to the original lot lines-even if the <br /> previous lots of record arc nonconforming under current regulations. These situations <br /> arise \vhen a person purchased two or morc properties in the past but combined the <br /> properties for tax purposes, building purposes, and/or to creatc larger lots. 111 some cases, <br /> two individual lots of record are nonconfonning when separated but are conforming <br /> when left comhined. <br /> For example, in the southeastern part of the City, there was a property that was composed <br /> of three nonconforming lots ofrccord. The existing regulations required the City to <br /> allow the property o\vner to rcvert the single conforming property back into three <br /> nonconforming properties despite the fact that each propcrty had less than half of the <br /> required minimum lot area for the underlying zone. The proposed rcgulations in Section <br /> 1310.03 Suhd'1 would prohibit property owners from reveliing a confom1ing propcrty <br /> back to the original lots ofrecord i r the lots of record do not meet current minimum <br /> requirements. <br /> As the pressurc [or infill development increases, thc City will likely see an increase in . <br /> propcrty owncrs that want to recreate nonconfom1ing propcrtics. Nonconfonning <br /> properties can be di rficult to develop due to limited acccss to a public roads, substandard <br /> soils, wetland coverage, and they may create higher than desired densities in certain <br /> neighborhoods. Despite these potential difliculties, the City would be requircd to permit <br /> reasonable of a lot of record once it is restored to the old lot lines cven if it is now <br /> lloncontonning. This provision helps the City stop the increase of "new" nonconf(xming <br /> properties. <br /> Properties that are composed of two or more lots of record that meet the minimum <br /> requirements of the underlying zone would still be pem1itted to revert back to the original <br /> propcrty lines. <br /> Subd 2:, Ifa person purchases two or more properties and builds across the property line, <br /> this subdivision would require the property owner to combine the properties into a single <br /> property. This regulation is essentially already followed, but this subdivision would <br /> codify the requirement. <br /> :!ilklm-ill"l./ls:w-dcllhills:f'lill/l/iIlR'/'I{/IllIil/g Ca.\",.,ilOIi6'{)6,O]4 /.ollillg Codc Rccod((iraliol/ (f'f:NDING)!J 10/0r" CC Mell/o ,/.ol/ing . <br /> RCCOc!U1Clllioll.t!v(' <br /> Page 4 of 13 <br />
