WARRANTS FOR GRANTING NON-CONFORMING ,USE PERMIT e Section 3-60,-of the'New Brighton Zoning Code states that before a non-conforming'use'permit can,be granted one. or more of the following conditions must be met ,by the application: 1. The total number of non~conformities is reduced; 2. The impact of any non~conformityupon adjacent premises is,reducedto the'greatest practical , extent ;an d 3. The extent of any non-conf6rmitj is reduced where practical. DEVELOPMENT PROPOSED BY THE APPLICANT TO ADDRESS:THE NON~CONFORMITIES e The applicant has indicated that the company feels that everything practical in regard to the non~conformities was done by the firm in 1976. The firm installed concrete curbing along the three driveways and the landscaped areas approvedi n . 1 976--ifna constructed one continuous service'island. It was noted by the'firm that it would not be practical at this time to remnve the curbing to alter the land~cap~ areas and that any alteration of the front yard would again affect the service'island. The firm contends that the three driveways are vital to internal traffi~f10w and control. To staff.s knowledge there have been only a very limited number of non-conforming use applications in which the applicant was not required to address the Type IV non-conformities. The important word in this section is "practical". For example, applicants have not been able to addre~s the non-conformity of building setback because the only way that ~he non-cnnfnrmity could be addressed is by requiring the building be moved.
