<br />City of Roseville <br /> <br />PRE-EXISTING NONCONFORMING USES DEFINITIONS AND PROCEDURE <br /> <br />Draft: August 7, 2002 <br /> <br />Definitions: Pre-existin2 Nonconformin2 Lots. Uses and Structures <br /> <br />Within the Roseville Zoning Code and Districts, lots, uses of land, and structures exist which <br />were permitted before the ordinances were passed or amended. These may be prohibited, <br />regulated, or restricted under the terms of the current City Code or future amendments. It is the <br />intent of the Roseville Zoning Code to permit these per-existing nonconforming lots, uses and <br />structures to continue so long as they remain otherwise consistent with the City Codes. <br /> <br />1. The following provisions apply in determining the nonconforming status and whether the <br />lot, use or structure may be altered or further developed. <br /> <br />a. Within a multi-tenant building or single use building a business that includes a <br />pre-existing, nonconforming use cannot intensify that pre-existing nonconforming <br />use portion of the business. "Intensified use" is defined as a use that would create <br />a substantially more detrimental impact to the building or adjacent area. (See the <br />attached definition of "detrimental impact"). <br /> <br />b. A nonconforming lot, use or structure may not be enlarged, moved, changed or <br />extended beyond the scope and area of its operation or the exterior building <br />dimensions at the time when it became a legal nonconforming use, without a <br />variance. Any structure or portion thereof may be altered to decrease its non- <br />conformity. <br /> <br />c. Uses or structures, which are prohibited elsewhere in the same zoning district, are <br />not permitted to move to lots with other nonconforming uses or structures <br />(thereby expanded an existing non-conformity). <br /> <br />d. Should a structure be moved for any reason for any distance, it will thereafter <br />conform to the regulations for the district in which it is located after it is moved. <br /> <br />e. If any legal, pre-existing nonconforming use of land, structure, or combination, is <br />changed to a permitted use, then the legal nonconforming use status is removed <br />and cannot be resumed. (An exception would be within the building shell where <br />a mix of permitted and non-conforming uses reside and expand or contract based <br />on need or vacancy.) <br /> <br />f. When a legal, pre-existing nonconforming use of land, structure, or combination <br />is discontinued or abandoned for twelve (12) consecutive months, the <br />nonconforming use status is removed and cannot be resumed. (An exception <br />would be within the building shell where a mix of permitted and non- <br />conforming uses reside and expand or contract based on need or vacancy.) <br /> <br />PF3359-RCA(I02102) Page II of 13 <br />
