(a)

Expansion of Uses and Structures. Uses or structures that require discretionary review may be expanded with a Zoning Compliance Review, provided the following conditions are met:

(1)

The proposed expansion or construction of a structure involves less than a 25-percent increase in the existing, approved floor area as shown on the most recent land use permit or Zoning Compliance Review on file, but no more than 10,000 square feet;

(2)

The proposed expansion involves less than a 25-percent increase in the developed area of the site; and

(3)

The proposed expansion will not have a substantial, adverse effect on the environment.

(4)

The expansion complies with existing requirements of agencies having jurisdiction and any other appropriate regulatory agency.

Where conditions in Subsections (a)(1) through (a)(4) of this Section are not met, the level of review for the expansion shall be the same as the level of review required in Table 9-202.020-1 for a new use.

(b)

Change in Use. Any change in an existing use to a new use that requires a land use permit shall be permitted without a land use permit, provided the Zoning Administrator finds that the proposed use:

(A)

will have no greater impact than the existing use; and

(B)

occupies the same floor area as the existing use.

The Zoning Administrator reserves the right to require a Zoning Compliance Review in lieu of the land use permit or to allow a minor expansion, as needed.

(c)

Accessory Uses and Structures. Accessory uses and structures permitted, not permitted, and conditionally permitted are set forth in Table 9-202.020-2. Accessory uses and structures not specifically listed in Table 9-202.020-2 are allowed with a Zoning Compliance Review if the primary use is permitted or with an Administrative Use Permit if the primary use requires either an Administrative Use Permit or a Conditional Use Permit.
