§ 44-167. Certificate of zoning compliance.  


Latest version.
  • There is the likelihood that there were preexisting, or nonconforming nonresidential uses of land and or structures, in whole or in part, which were, as a practical manner, unable to be accounted for, and would not have been permitted at the time of passage of this chapter. In order to 1) confirm and properly document the existence of these types of structures and uses; 2) monitor their existing activities; 3) to facilitate petitions that may be proposed to accommodate future changes in the use of these properties, and, 4) to mitigate any potential conflict in land use or structures, the board of commissioners may consider a requirement that occupants or owners of all commercial, industrial, home occupation and cottage industry uses obtain from the planning commission a certificate of zoning compliance. This certificate shall carry a fee, to be determined by the board of commissioners to cover administrative costs associated with processing.
