Organization SAMC Section 41-2001.5 establishes the contents and organization of the TZC regulations The update to the text is necessary to encompass the new Section 41-2009 (Operational Standards for Nonconforming Industrial Uses). Nonconforming Buildings, Structures and Uses SAMC Section 41-2002 establishes the regulations for nonconforming buildings, structures or uses within the TZC boundary. The provisions contain minimal limits for rehabilitation of buildings and structures and their expansion for both residential and non- residential uses. The update to text of this Section will further limit some rehabilitation of buildings and structures, with specific emphasis on nonconforming industrial uses. These updated provisions include: •Requiring rehabilitation or expansion of buildings and structures, occupied by any nonconforming use to comply with the new operational standards contained in Section 41-2009. •Prohibits expansion of a building or structure occupied by a nonconforming industrial use. •Discontinuation of nonconforming noxious uses through amortization. •Elimination of certain nonconforming uses and structures •Establishes a process for enacting amortization periods for eliminating certain nonconforming uses. •References to SAMC and State law for abatement of public nuisances. •Establishes authority for voluntary compliance agreements between the City and nonconforming uses. The Industrial Overlay (I-OZ) Zone SAMC Section 41-2004 establishes an overlay zone applied to M1 and M2 zoned properties located within the TZC boundary. Section 41-2004 is deleted in its entirety, removing the I-OZ Zone from the TZC to eliminate industrial land use type zoning altogether. Application for Discretionary Approvals SAMC Section 41-2005 establishes the process and timing of vesting for certain uses approved with a discretionary permit. Section 41-2005 is renumbered as 41- 2004, and the update to the text of this Section adds clarification for effects of the amendments to the TZC dependent upon status of an application in the City process of review, approval, and/or building permit issuance, if required.
