This county-initiated amendment to Article III of the Land Development Code is to amend of Section 3-11, Non-conforming Uses, Lot and Structures to allow for the replacement of permitted single family homes, mobile homes and accessory structures on non-conforming lots created prior to January 14, 2025.

In 2010 the Board of County Commissioners adopted a policy that permits the replacement of structures with a valid building permit which are located on non-conforming lots or parcels. This policy was never codified into the Land Development Code. The policy requires the replacement structure to not exceed the footprint of the existing structure.

Staff if proposing to revise the 2010 Board policy to remove the requirement of the replacement structure to not exceed the footprint of the existing structure and adopt the policy in the Land Development Code.  The staff proposed change would require the replacement structure to meet the standards of the zoning district in which the property is located.
