<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Memo to the City Council/OA 99-13 <br />August 16, 1999 <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />shall therefore conform to the regulations of the <br />district in which it is located." <br /> <br />In most cases, property can be sold and uses re-established well within the one year <br />timeframe. It is therefore, difficult to eliminate nonconforming land uses using this <br />method. <br /> <br />Reducing the time frame to six months increases the probability of eliminating <br />nonconforming land uses while still permitting adequate time for the owner to market <br />the property. <br /> <br />There is no provision within the Land Use Statute stipulating a minimum timeframe for <br />compliance of nonconforming uses once they have been discontinued. <br /> <br />Planning Commission Action <br /> <br />The Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend that the City Council <br />approve the ordinance amendment as proposed. <br /> <br />City Council Recommendation <br /> <br />Staff recommends that the City Council approve the ordinance amendment to shorten <br />the compliance timeframe from one year to six months for discontinued nonconforming <br />uses. <br />
