73-52 - Modifications for Zoning Lots Divided by District Boundaries

LAST AMENDED
6/25/1964

Whenever a #zoning lot# existing in single ownership on December 15, 1961, or on the effective date of any applicable
subsequent amendment to the #zoning maps# is divided by a boundary between two or more districts in which different #uses#
are permitted, the Board of Standards and Appeals may permit a #use# which is a permitted #use# in the district in which more
than 50 percent of the #lot area# of the #zoning lot# is located to #extend# not more than 25 feet into the remaining portion of
the #zoning lot#, where such #use# is not a permitted #use#, provided that the following findings are made:

(a)    that, without any such extension, it would not be economically feasible to use or #develop# the remaining portion of the
        #zoning lot# for a permitted #use#; and
(b)    that such extension will not cause impairment of the essential character or the future use or development of the
        surrounding area.

Where such an extension of a #use# is permitted, the Board may permit the #bulk#, off-street parking and loading, and all other
regulations of the district in which more than 50 percent of the #lot area# of the #zoning lot# is located, to apply for the
distance, not exceeding 25 feet, that such #use# is permitted to #extend# into the remaining portion of the #zoning lot#.

Any portion of the #zoning lot# beyond such distance shall be subject to all the regulations of the district in which it is located,
and shall not be counted as #lot area# for a #building or other structure#, or portion thereof, used for such #extended use#.

The Board may prescribe appropriate conditions and safeguards to minimize adverse effect on the character of the surrounding
area.
