The Commlsslon Secretary, Mr. Baucke, requested Commlssloners relocate to study tables. Staff report presented hlstory on nonconformlng bUlldlngs wlthln the Clty. It was lndlcated that most resldences In the coastal dlstrlct constructed prlor to 1978, especlally multlple unlts, are nonconformlng. The present zonlng regulatlons do not allow any addltlon or expanSlon to nonconformlng bUlldlngs unless the bUlldlng lS made conformlng and the requlred parklng lS provlded. In 1978, the Clty adopted a number of POllCY changes whlch resulted In downzonlng to approxlmately 20 unlts per acre, ellmlnated tandemparklng and ellmlnated the CUP procedure for expanSlon to nonconformlng bUlldlngs. In 1982 another POllCY change allowed small addltlons to nonconformlng bUlldlngs thru the CUP procedure. In 1983 the nonconformlnB prOV1Slon to the Code was agaln amended to allow addltlons to legal nonconformlng bUlldlngs thru the CUP process, provlded all parklng requlrements are met. Current proposal would provlde for addltlons and structural modlflcatlons to nonconformlng structures on a case-by-case basls thru the CUP process and requlrlng the followlng ltems to accompany appllcatlons: 1) a property report, and 2) a full house lnspectlon. A full house lnspectlon would cost the appllcant .0675~ per s~uare foot (approxl~~tely $200). The ~rope~ty~report would be a no cost lte~ to the appllcant as staff would do the resei3.rch.
