E.

It is the intent of the City Council that a legally established pre-existing land use of an occupied property shall not assume a nonconforming status as a result of the adoption of the 2017 General Plan and the concurrent or subsequent adoption of a change of zone for consistency with the 2017 General Plan. Any pre-existing use certified pursuant to Section [9.240.080] that is not specifically listed in subsection A. shall be considered a permitted or conditionally permitted use the same as provided for such use under the zoning classification of the subject property prior to the adoption of the new zoning classification concurrent with, or subsequent to, the effective date of City Council Resolution No. 2017-14[A2] adopting the 2017 General Plan. The expansion of significant modification of such a pre-existing use shall be subject to the approval process and zoning requirements that had governed the category of use in which it fell under the prior zoning classification. However, nothing in this subsection shall be construed to mean that a site development permit or conditional use permit is required to continue such pre-existing use.

(Ord. No. 2017-09, § 8B., 9-21-2017; Ord. No. 2020-17, §§ 4, 5, 11-5-2020; Ord. No. 2021-21, § 23, 11-42021; Ord. No. 2021-29, § 16, 12-16-2021; Ord. No. 2022-24, § 10, 12-15-2022)
