Zoning Update
Good morning,
Thank you for an informative overview of the proposed zoning changes last night at the Rec
Center.
Please allow me to restate an issue I may not have clearly articulated during the meeting:
The present version of the draft code (S280-66, p129) does not provide exemption for a
grandfathered business operation to rebuild in the event 50% of the structure is destroyed, and
the owner wishes to continue to operate the same business. Additionally, as presently written, a
grandfathered, newly-nonconforming business is limited to no more than a 15% expansion.
While I applaud the intention of the code to not hurt, harm, or penalize an existing business, the
language regarding pre-existing, and newly non-conforming businesses, operations, and
buildings, requires attention to deliver on that stated intention.
Kind regards,
John Callahan
