USE. 1983 GENERAL PROVISIONS AND EXCEPTIONS General Except as hereinafter provided, no building shall be erected, reconstructed or structurally altered nor shall any building or land be used for any purpose other than is permitted in the zone in which such building or land is located. If any "use" is for any reason omitted from the lists of those specified as permissible in each of the various zones herein designated, or if ambiguity arises concerning the approximate classification of a particular use within the meaning and intent of this ordinance, it shall be the duty of the City Planning Commission to ascertain all pertinent facts concerning said use and by resolution of record set forth its findings and the reasons for designating a specific classification for each use and such findings and resolutions shall be referred to the City Council and, if approved by the City Council, thereafter such designated classification shall govern. Where property classified for "C" uses has a depth of one hundred and twenty (120) feet or less, as measured at approx- imate right angles from the street frontage indicated as business frontage, additional adjoining property may be used for nCrr purposes when such adjoining property fronts upon the side street and the side of such adjoining property abuts upon the property classified for "C" purposes, and provided that such additional property be utilized only in connection with and as a part of the development of "C" use on the property classified therefor; that such additional property be not greater than sixty (60) feet in width measured along the side street, and provided further that no entrance be established or used upon such additional property, and provided further that if the property classified for "C" use has a depth of sixty (60) feet or less measured as provided above, then the additional property -29- permitted to be used in connection therewith in the manner above defined may not exceed one hundred (100) feet additional, and no entrance shall be established and maintained upon the fifty (50) feet farthest removed from the "C" classified corner created by the intersecting street. When areas of unsubdivided acreage are shown upon the Zoning Map enclosed within a double line circle, the areas thus shown are intended to approximate the location of commercial centers to be later classified as such concurrently with the designing of the property for such purposes at the time of the subdividing thereof. Parking Space Every main building hereafter erected or structurally altered shall be provided with minimum off - street parking accomo- dations as follows: a. For Dwellings there shall be at least one parking space in a building on the same lot with the main building for each dwelling unit and such parking space shall be not less than eight (8) feet wide by eighteen (18) feet long, with adequate provision for ingress and egress. b. For Buildings other than Dwellings there shall be at least one parking space of two hundred and fifty (250) square feet on the same lot with the main building or contiguous thereto as follows: 1) For Churches, High School, Colleges and Uni- versity Auditoriums and other places of assembly, at least one (1) parking space for every ten (10) seats provided in said buildings. 2) For Hospitals and Institutions, at least one (1) parking space for every two (2) beds provided in said buildings. -30- -984 -fL`J86 3) For Hotels and Clubs, at least one (1) parking space for every three (3) guest rooms provided in said buildings. 4) For Theatres, Auditoriums and other similar places of assembly, at least one (1) parking space for every five (5) seats provided in said building. c.

If, on the effective date of this ordinance, a temporary one- family dwelling shall exist on the rear half of a lot, a one - family dwelling may be erected and maintained on the front portion of the same lot in the manner provided herein, whereupon the said dwelling on the rear half of the lot shall assume the status of a non - conforming use as defined herein. b. A non - conforming building may be continued provided no additions or enlargements are made thereto and no structural alter- ations are made therein, except those required by law or ordinance. If such non - conforming building is removed, every future use of such premises shall be in conformity with the provisions of this ordinance. c. The non - conforming use of a building existing at the time this ordinance became effective may be continued, provided: 1. That a non - conforming use of a non - conforming building may be expanded or extended throughout such building provided no structural alterations except those required by law or ordinance are made therein. If no structural alterations are made, a non - conforming use of a non- conforming building may be changed to another use of the same or more restricted classification. 2. That a non - conforming use of a conforming building shall not be expanded or extended into any other portion of the conforming building, and if such non - conforming -31- use is discontinued, any future use of such building shall be in conformity with the provisions of this ordi- nance; provided, however, that all non - conforming uses of a conforming building shall be discontinued not later than three (3) years from effective date of this ordinance. 3. That in all "R" Zones, every non - conforming building which was designed, or intended for a use excluded from the "R" Zone shall be completely removed, or altered and converted within a time prescribed by the City Planning Commission., and approved by the City Council in the manner provided for the consideration of variances and provided that such time shall in no case be less than ten (10) years following the approval of such date by the City Council, and, provided further, that it shall be the pur- pose of the City Planning Commission and the City Council to determine as near as may be the reasonable unamortized value of such non - conforming building and an allowance of not less than two and one -half (2?) per centum per annum of the original cost shall be made in determing the date by which said non - conforming building shall be removed or altered and converted to a conforming status. 4. That, subject to all other regulations of this Section, a building destroyed to the extent of not more than seventy- five (75) per cent of its reasonable value by fire, explosion or other casualty or Act of God, or the public enemy, may be restored and the occupancy or use of such building or part thereof which existed at the time of such partial destruction, may be continued. d. The non - conforming use of land where no structure thereon is employed therefor, existing at the time this ordinance became effective, may be continued for a period of not more than three (3) years therefrom, provided: -32- ! t t • i 1. That no non - conforming use of land shall in any way be expanded or extended either on the same or adjoining property. 2.

That the lawful location and maintenance of commercial signs and bill boards existing at the time this ordinance became effective may be continued, although such use does not conform with the provisions hereof; provided, however, that all such non - conforming signs and bill boards and their supporting members shall be completely removed by their owners not later than three (3) years from the effective date of this ordinance. e. The foregoing provisions shall also apply to buildings, land and uses which hereafter become non - conforming due to any reclassification of zones under this ordinance. f. All "public" and "semi- public" parking areas and "used car sales areas" herein permitted shall be improved as follows; 1. Such area shall be paved and properly enclosed with a solid fence or wall on each side of such area abutting upon a street or upon property classified for "R" uses. 2.

Any lights provided to illuminate such parking areas shall be so arranged as to relfect the light away from adjoining premises. -33- -987 B.
