Title: Proposed Amendment to Nonconforming Structures (Section 5.32.2) in Unified Development Code: Staff presents ordinance revisions to Section 5.32.2 related to nonconforming structures in residential districts. These are presented in response to a request by the Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA) to eliminate the requirement for ZBA approval for certain improvements to nonconforming structures. The proposed amendment will allow administrative approval, by the Planning Manager or designee, to approve an alteration (defined as a change that increases floor area, the number of dwelling units or the exterior dimensions of a building) that does not extend closer to a lot line, does not create any new nonconformities, and complies with all other zoning district dimensional standards.
