Your permit application was denied based on <br />=~- Zoning Ordinance No. 1501, which does not allow front yard <br />`;~~.z=_s;.-, carports. The carport, which was destroyed by Hurricane Alicia in <br />~•- 1983, was considered a non-conforming use under the previous <br />•' Zoning Ordinance X10. 780 which was in effect until February of <br />~~~-:.' : ~ this year. That ordinance •(No. 780) also allowed non-conforming <br />uses to be replaced if improvements were done within one (1) year <br />from the date of damage. Non-conforming use structures are not <br />- permitted under the new ordinance (PIo. 1501). <br />However, the new ordinance (No. 1501) does allow for an appeal <br />process. An appeal of the Building Official's decision must be <br />made withi'n':30 days of the denial date. The appeal application <br />(see enclosure) must be completed and returned to the Code <br />Enforcement within that period of time. Once the application has <br />been received, the applicant will be notified of .a public hearing <br />which will be scheduled with the Board of Adjustments to review <br />the request.. <br />If you have any questions, please feel free to contact either <br />David Paulissen, Chief Building Official, at 471-5020, extension <br />256 or myself. <br />Respectfully, <br />`~'~N~B{~ ~ Robert T.
