20.150.070

A. For the purposes of this section, a "change in use" shall be defined as a change from one enumerated use to a different enumerated use as set forth in Tables 20-30, 20-50, 20-90, 20-110 and 20-140. B. A legal nonconforming use may be changed to another nonconforming use of a like nature upon issuance of and in compliance with a special use permit, provided such use is not subject to a conditional use permit or special use permit under any other provisions of this title. Any enlargement made in conjunction with such change must conform to the provisions of this chapter. C. Two uses are of "like nature" when the director determines that they are treated in essentially the same manner for all purposes under this title and that the new use will not create an increase in such impacts as traffic, or noise. The "like nature" determination shall be made as part of the consideration of a special use permit as provided in this title. D. Where a lot or parcel which contains a legal nonconforming use also contains a conforming use, the existing conforming use may be changed to another conforming use only upon a finding that such proposed conforming use is compatible with such legal nonconforming use in terms of architecture as well as use. Such determination of compatibility shall be made as part of the consideration of any site development permit, conditional use permit, or special use permit required for such change by other provisions of this Code. If no such permits are required, such change in use shall be made only upon the issuance of and in compliance with a special use permit as provided in this title. (Ords. 26248, 30857.)
