Section 5.05.08.B.3.a—Nonconforming structures or vehicle uses
Mr. Schiffer introduced proposed language for the Section to address nonconforming structures
exempting them from the standards unless they are enlarged.
"Nonconforming structures or vehicle use areas are exempt from LDC section 5.05.08 unless the
nonconformity is increased or enlarged. Nonconformities shall be decreased pursuant to the
standards established in LDC section 5.05.08. "
"Should a nonconforming structure or vehicle use area incur damage of any origin, LDC section
9.03.03 B.2 shall apply. "
The Committee discussed the proposed language and the following issues:
• How to address proposed additions to non conforming structures.
• How to address remodeling of nonconforming structures as the requirement as currently
exist deters façade renovations as the proposed improvement cannot conform to the
current standards (either physically or cost prohibitive).
• Should buildings damaged by disasters be required to conform to the standards if they are
proposed to be repaired or rebuilt and what"threshold"requirements (percentage of
assessed value,percentage of market value, square foot affected, etc.) should be
established before requiring conformance to the standards.
The Committee requested Staff to research the Land Development Code requirements for these
events and contact the County Attorney's office for input on any proposed language.

Section 5.05.08.0—Building Facades
The Committee discussed:
• The concept of reducing and/or eliminating the minimum requirements throughout the
section, i.e. the current standard that"Primary facades on the ground floor must have
features along a minimum of 50 percent of their horizontal length."
• How the standards affect out parcels, etc. and franchise branded trademark buildings.
• Is it beneficial to promote a standardized plan of development or"common architectural
theme" in PUD's, activity centers, etc. or should some flexibility be built into the
requirements to provide an acceptable level of diversity within the development?
