501492v1 SJS NE136-8 assessor's market value, permission for such work must be obtained from the City Council pursuant to Section 8-460 in the case of a Type 4 Nonconformity, and the nonconforming status of the building shall terminate as to a Type 2 Nonconformity. Sec. 8-500 thru 8-690 reserved 6/10/03. Sec. 8-700. Permitted Use Determination, Purpose. The provisions of this Code listing permitted uses cannot reasonably include all possible uses of the same or similar nature and character. To limit permitted uses to those which are specifically set forth in the code would be unduly restrictive, and to require an amendment to the code to allow uses which are essentially the same as those listed in their impact on the community would be unnecessarily burdensome. However, to serve the purposes of the zoning code and protect the public health, safety and welfare and general convenience of the community, the code must be so interpreted, enforced and administrated as to assure compatible and complimentary land uses. The procedures and criteria set forth in sections 8-700 through 8-720, therefore, are enacted to meet these objectives. Sec. 8-710. Permitted Use Determination, Procedure. The procedure and voting requirements for determining whether a proposed use is permitted pursuant to sections 5-010(4), 5-120(G), 5-220(11),5-340(3) and 5-420(2) shall be the same as that specified for consideration of special use permits in section 8-120. The determination of the council shall be set forth in a resolution which includes findings addressing the criteria set forth in section 8-720. The resolution shall specify and describe the proposed use in whatever detail is deemed necessary by the council to define the nature and characteristics of the use to which the findings relate. No change, alteration, extension or expansion of the use described in the resolution may be made without first securing from the council a new determination in accordance with sections 8-700 through 8-720. Sec. 8-720. Permitted Use Determination, Criteria. (1) The council shall not approve a proposed use as a permitted use unless it finds that all of the following criteria are met: A. The proposed use is consistent with the city’s comprehensive plan. B. The proposed use is not listed as a special use in the district. C. The proposed use meets the criteria set forth in section 8-130. D. The proposed use is not a residential use. E. The proposed use is suitable for any property in the district. F. The proposed use is consistent with any general description in the code of the nature of uses for which the district is intended. G. The proposed use is compatible with and complimentary to other permitted uses in the district. H. The proposed use is so similar in its nature and characteristics with respect to general zoning purposes that it is deemed in all practical respects to be the same as a listed permitted use. I. The proposed use will not have a detrimental effect on the economic viability of other permitted uses in the district.
