7. State How Work/Proposal Complies with the following Finding Criteria: (see also Section 9.2)
a) Explain why the existing building, lot or use is legally pre-existing non-conforming. (Buildings, lots or uses
that are in existence at the time new zoning is enacted are protected under grandfathering provisions)
The barn was originally a principal structure for a principal use on the property. So given that there were two principal
uses, a farm and a residence, the two structures and their setbacks should be reviewed accordingly. Under section
6.2 URC dimensional requirements for "any other allowed use not listed above", the side setback is 1 O'. Thus it is
pre-existing, non-conforming for the side setback of a conforming principal use. Since the setback for attached
accessory structures used only as workshop, garage, or storage requires the same side setback of 10', changing
from a barn/farm use to an attached accessory garage that requires the same side setback would not create a new
non-conformity.
b) Does the chan~ extension or alteration create a new violation of the zoning, which would require a
variance? I Yes ~No IfYes, explain
c) Explain how the change, extension or alteration shall not be substantially more detrimental than the
existing nonconforming use to the neighborhood:
