Chapter 85.09 — TENANT REVIEW

It is the purpose of this Chapter to provide an expedited process for the County review and authorization of allowed uses and changes to existing structures to accommodate the same or a different use. Adjustment of the existing tenant space may be allowed, but not a change in the existing structure footprint or floor area. It is intended that a Tenant Review shall meet all standards of this Code without the necessity of discretionary processes, environmental review or public hearings.
