b. Any additional land use component shall include a description of <br /> the proposed land use regulations, a description of the economic <br /> and financial need for each land use regulation and a description of <br /> the effect of the comprehensive plan on the economic integrity of <br /> the Zone Project Plan and Reinvestment Zone Financing Plan. The <br /> land use component shall be reviewed annually by the Zone's <br /> board to ensure that both the public and private investment in the <br /> Zone are protected, and if additional restrictions are required, may <br /> approve amendments and changes for City Council review and <br /> approval. <br /> c. The Land Use Plan may impose maximum height, minimum square <br /> footage on new construction, maximum lot coverage and other <br /> restrictions to provide for sufficient private investment in the Zone's <br /> development or redevelopment to support Zone bonds, notes or <br /> obligations. <br /> d. Any additional land use controls shall be operative for at least the <br /> life of the Zone, and the Board may, with City Council approval, <br /> provide that a restriction adopted by the Board continues in effect <br /> after the termination of the Zone. If the land use controls continue <br /> after the termination of the Zone, such restrictions shall be treated <br /> as if adopted by the City in the first instance. <br /> e. The Board shall contract with the City for the purpose of <br /> enforcement of any additional land use controls authorized for use <br /> in the Zone. <br /> f. Essentially, the City's Zoning Ordinance establishes the process for <br /> identifying and terminating nonconforming uses. <br /> Lawful nonconforming uses in Zones may be terminated as follows: <br /> 1. when the use ceases or is abandoned; or <br /> 2. when the primary structure has been demolished or when <br /> rehabilitation in excess of 50% of the assessed value of the <br /> improvement at the time of Zone creation is completed; or <br /> 3. when a sufficient period of time has elapsed to allow the <br /> recovery of the owner or owners investment in the <br /> nonconforming use or uses <br /> g. Nonconforming business uses may not be altered or expanded in <br /> any residential area in the Zone (e.g. no additional new employees, <br /> outside storage or parking may be created). <br /> 5 Revised 5/12/99 <br />
