Under the ncw law, nonconfonning uses and <br /> structures cannot be expandcd but they can bc continued through repair, replaccment, <br /> restoration, maintenance, or improvement even if the entire structure is dcstroyed by <br /> natural forces or simply torn down for reconstruction. However, thc rebuilt or restored <br /> stmcture cannot exceed any of the dimcnsions of the prcvious nonconfonning stmcture. <br /> Furthermore, the property owncr must apply for necessary building pern1its within 180 <br /> days of the rcmoval or dcstruction of the structure or the City can requirc the new <br /> structure to mect all current requiremcnts. <br /> .

The <br /> old Statute allowcd a city to require nonconforming propel1ies/stmctures/uscs to become <br /> conforn1ing within a ccrtain pcriod of time. This strategy is no longer an option for cities <br /> and has been removed from the updated Zoning Code. <br /> SHCTlON 1355: AOMINISTRA nON AND PROCEDURES <br /> V otill~ RCL)uircmcnts:. State Statutes do not require a 4/5 vote to approve Planned Unit <br /> Developments (PUDs) or to amcnd the zoning regulations. The State did require a 4/5 <br /> vote for rezonillgs; however, that requirement bas been eliminated unless land is bcing <br /> rezoned from residential to commcrcial or industrial, in which case a 4/5 vote is still <br /> rCL)uired. A city can be more restrictive in voting requirements, though it is increasingly <br /> common for cities usc a 3/5 votc approval requiremcnt for rezonings, zoning regulation <br /> amendmcnts, and PUDs.
