§ 1.10. TRANSITIONAL PROVISIONS  


Latest version.
  • 1.10.1.   Violations Continue

    Any violation of the County's previous regulations or ordinances will continue to be a violation under this Code or any subsequent amendment to this Code and will be subject to penalties and enforcement provisions of this Code or any subsequent amendment to this Code unless the use, development, construction or other activity is consistent with the express terms of this Code or any subsequent amendment to this Code, in which case enforcement action will cease. The adoption of this Code or any subsequent amendments to this Code does not affect or prevent any pending or future prosecution of, or action to abate, violations of any previous County regulations or ordinances that occurred prior to the effective date of this Code or any subsequent amendment to this Code.

    1.10.2.   Nonconformities

    Any nonconformity under the County's previous regulations or ordinances will continue to be a nonconformity under this Code or any subsequent amendment to this Code, as long as the situation that resulted in the nonconforming status under the County's previous regulations or ordinances continues to exist. If, however, a nonconforming situation under the County previous regulations or ordinances becomes conforming because of the adoption of this Code or any subsequent amendment to this Code, then the situation will no longer be considered a nonconformity. A situation that did not constitute a lawful nonconforming situation under the County's previous regulations or ordinances does not achieve lawful nonconforming status under this Code or any subsequent amendment to this Code merely by repeal of the County's previous regulations or ordinances.

    1.10.3.   Development of Legal Lots

    Development of any legal lot existing on the effective date of this Code or subsequent amendments to this Code shall conform to all provisions of this Code unless otherwise provided.

    1.10.4.   Projects Approved Prior to the Adoption or Subsequent Amendment of the Code

    Any variance, use subject to special review, or other zoning application approved under the County's previous regulations or ordinances remains valid until the expiration date of said approval, if any. The BoCC may, upon receipt of a written request and payment of the required fee, grant one extension not to exceed one year to complete the project or action approved under the County's previous regulations or ordinances. Any subsequent project or action shall comply with this Code. Any significant modification to an approved project or action shall comply with this Code. Nothing in this subsection is intended to restrict otherwise applicable vested applicant rights.

    1.10.5.   Applications Submitted Before the Effective Date of this Code

    Any project or action for which a complete application was submitted to the County before the effective date of this Code or any subsequent amendment to this Code may, at the applicant's option, will be reviewed under the regulations or ordinances in effect at the time of application. If approved, the projects or actions may be carried out in accordance with said regulations or ordinances. Nothing in this subsection is intended to restrict otherwise applicable vested applicant rights.

    1.10.6.   Permits Issued Before the Effective Date of this Code

    Any building, sign or structure for which a building permit was duly issued before the effective date of this Code or any subsequent amendments to the Code may be completed in conformance with the issued permit, even if the building, sign or structure does not fully comply with provisions of this Code or any subsequent amendments to the Code. If construction is not commenced or completed in accordance with the applicable permit terms, the PCD Director may, upon receipt of a written request and payment of the required fee, grant one 6-month extension for good cause shown. If the building, sign or structure is not commenced or completed within the time allowed under the original permit or any extension granted, then any building, sign or structure shall comply with the requirements of this Code or any subsequent amendments to the Code. Nothing in this subsection is intended to restrict otherwise applicable vested applicant rights. Any expansion in size of an approved existing structure shall comply with this Code for the modification area.

    1.10.7.   Subdivision Plats Approved Before the Effective Date of this Code

    Any subdivision for which a preliminary plan or final plat was approved before the effective date of this Code or any subsequent amendments to the Code may be completed according to the plat approval and other applicable permits and conditions, even if the subdivision does not fully comply with the provisions of this Code or any subsequent amendments to the Code. If the subdivision process is not completed within the time requirements established by the County's previous regulations and ordinances or within any schedule included in the approval of the subdivision, then the subdivision shall comply with this Code or any subsequent amendments to this Code. Nothing in this subsection is intended to restrict otherwise applicable vested applicant rights.
