§ 21.25.403. Application.

The administrative use permit process applies only to the following applications:

A.

Minor Expansion of Existing Conditional Use. This applies to uses for which conditional use permits have been previously granted and to legal, nonconforming uses which now require a conditional use permit for the zone districts in which they are located. Such uses may be expanded through approval of an administrative use permit by twenty-five percent (25%) of the existing use, although the expansion may not exceed five thousand (5,000) square feet of additional floor area. Any expansion exceeding these limits shall be considered a new conditional use and shall be subject to the review process established in Division II of this Chapter 21.25 (Conditional Use Permits). This application shall not apply to the sale of alcoholic beverages (on-premises or off-premises).

B.

Change From Legal Nonconforming Use to Another Nonconforming Use . An existing, legal nonconforming use may be changed to another nonconforming use in accordance with the requirements of Section 21.27.070 (Nonconformities—Change in use) through approval of an administrative use permit.

C.

Modification of Permit. Approved special use permits granted during or prior to 1979 may be modified through this process.

D.

Legalization of Illegal Units. For units created prior to 1964.

E.

Fences in High Crime Districts. Fence height may exceed three feet zero inches (3'0") in the front yard of residential lots located in high crime areas, through approval of an administrative use permit. (See Section 21.52.231.5 for criteria.)

F.

Uses designated in Tables 31-1 (Residential Use Table), 32-1 (Commercial Use Table), 33-2 (Industrial Use Table), 34-1 (Institutional Use Table) and 35-1 (Park Use Table) as administrative use permit uses.

G.

New construction of a building with five thousand (5,000) square feet or more of floor area in the CNP zone (see Section 21.52.247).
