property was placed into this District.
(B)Permitted Uses.
(1)The following uses are permitted in the T District:
(a)No use shall be permitted of properties in the T District except such legal use as existed
on the date the property was placed into this zone district. No permanent structures shall
be constructed on any land in this District, except that at the time of zoning or rezoning of
the property into this District the City Council may grant a variance permitting the
installation or enlargement of a permanent structure containing a legal use which was
existing, or is ancillary to the legal use of the property, at the time of such zoning or
rezoning upon the following conditions:
1.The owner of the property, prior to the City Council meeting at which the zoning or
rezoning is to be heard, shall submit a site plan showing in reasonable detail the
existing and proposed uses of such property.
2.The City Council shall grant such variance only upon a finding that the strict
application of this Land Use Code would result in exceptional or undue hardship upon
the owner of the property and that the variance may be granted without substantial
detriment to the public good and without substantially impairing the intent and
purposes of this Land Use Code.
(b)After the property has been placed in the T District, the Zoning Board of Appeals may
grant a variance in accordance with Division 2.10 permitting installation or enlargement of
a permanent structure containing a use which was existing at the time the property was
placed in this District, or containing a use which is ancillary to such existing use. When
applying the standards of subsection 2.10.2(H), paragraph 2.10.2(H)(2) shall not apply.
Any proposal for the installation or enlargement of such a structure for which a variance
has been approved must comply with the requirements contained in Section 1.6.5 and the
applicable general development standards contained in Article 3.
(c)Notwithstanding the other provisions contained in paragraphs (a) and (b) above, a
property in the T District can be used for off-site staging in compliance with Section 3.8.25
of this Code.
(2)The owner of any property in the T District may at any time petition the City to remove the
property from this zone district and place it in another zone district. Unless the following time
limitations are waived by the petitioner, any such petition shall be referred to the Planning and
Zoning Board to be considered at the next regular meeting of such board which is scheduled at
least thirty (30) days from the date the petition is filed with the City Clerk. Within sixty (60) days
from the date the matter is considered by the board, the City Council shall change the zoning for
the property in question to another zone district authorized under this Article.
(3)Any use which was nonconforming upon a parcel prior to placement into this zone district shall
continue to be nonconforming upon removal of such parcel or property from this zone district
unless such parcel is placed into a zone district where such use is listed as a permitted use.
