Chapter 350. Zoning
§ 350-9.3. Change, extension or alteration of legally preexisting nonconforming
structures, uses, or lots.
Legally preexisting nonconforming structures, uses, or lots may be changed, extended or altered as set forth below. If a use is not
eligible under one subsection, proceed to the next subsection.
A. A preexisting nonconforming structure or use may be changed, extended or altered:
(t) As -of -right if the expansion/change itself meets all the dimensional and use requirements of the current zoning.

(z) As -of -right in a residential district, when said change is from a preexisting nonconforming use to a conforming residential
use, and there are no changes to the exterior of the structure or lot and no new nonconformities are created by such
change/conversion.
(3) As -of -right when said change or alteration is limited to rebuilding a single- or two-family home destroyed by fire or other
natural disaster within two years of the disaster. Reconstruction must either meet the current zoning requirements or fall
within the same footprint and height of the destroyed home so as not to expand the nonconforming nature of said home.
(4) As -of -right when said change or alteration is limited to rebuilding any other building not more than so% destroyed by fire
or other natural disaster when the change is limited to rebuilding or replacing the structure within the preexisting footprint
and height of the existing structure or within an area and height that conforms to all dimensional requirements and all
construction occurs within two years of the disaster.
(5) As -of -right, if the expansion (vertical or horizontal) is for a residential use and does not extend either further than five feet
into a required setback or further than the existing nonconforming structure, whichever is less and such extension does
not create any new zoning violation (such as further reducing a setback or open space).

(6) As -of -right, if the expansion (vertical or hprizontal) is for a residential use and does not extend either further into a
required setback than the existing nonconf' rming structure, and such extension does not create any new zoning violation
(such as further reducing a setback or open space), and the applicant provides written evidence satisfactory to the
Building Commissioner that all owners of II parcels within Soo feet of the subject property have no objection to the
expansion.
(7) With a finding from the Zoning Board of Appeals so long as the change does not involve a sign (see § 350-7 for signs) and
§ 350-9.3A(5) above does not apply and wfjen the expansion extends (vertically or horizontally), but does not increase the
nonconforming nature of the property and does not create any new zoning violation (such as further reducing a setback
or minimizing open space).

violation of the present zoning requirements or if change is an expansion of preexisting nonconforming retail use.

(o) With a special permit for a single- or two-family home when the Zoning Board makes a finding that the change which
includes new zoning violations (such as reduction of open space, new setback encroachments or further encroachments
into the setback, etc.) will not be substantially more detrimental to the neighborhood than the existing nonconforming
single- or two-family structure.
(n) With a combination of a finding and variance when applicable.
B. A conforming use on a preexisting nonconforming lot: A conforming use on such a lot may be changed, extended or altered:
(i) As -of -right to the same conforming use in a conforming structure, which meets all the dimensional, and density provisions
of the current zoning, except for lot size, frontage, or depth and when the lot size, frontage, and depth requirements do
not change.

(z) With a finding from the Zoning Board of Appeals when said change, extension or alteration is to a different conforming use
which requires the same or less minimum lot area, minimum lot width and frontage, minimum lot depth, setbacks, and
parking than is required for the present use (and lot does not fully conform to the present zoning requirements for the
proposed use).
(3) With a variance to a conforming use which requires a larger minimum lot area, minimum lot width or frontage or minimum
lot depth than is required for the present use or creates any other new zoning violation.
(4) With a combination of a finding and variance when applicable.
C. A preexisting nonconforming lot may be changed, extended or altered:
(t) As -of -right if such change, extension or alteration to the lot does not increase the nonconforming nature of the property,
only brings the lot into total conformance with the zoning requirements in existence at the time of said change, extension
or alteration, or adds to the lot.
(z) As -of -right whenever a group of adjoining lots in common ownership is separated or the ownership of one or more lots
changed, if each of the lots will conform to all provisions of this chapter, or if the lots are residential lots and each lot
contained a principal residential structure at the time the adjoining lots came under common ownership and no changes
were made to the structures or lots during the time in which the lots were commonly owned, in a way that increased the
nonconforming nature of these lots.
