Description

Reconstruction and restoration of certain damaged or destroyed nonconformities. Provides that if a building is damaged or destroyed by a natural disaster, the zoning ordinance may require that such building be repaired, rebuilt or replaced to eliminate or reduce the nonconforming features to the extent possible, without the need to obtain a variance. If such building cannot be repaired, rebuilt or replaced except to restore it to its original nonconforming condition, the owner shall have the right to do so. Read the Bill »
