Title
13. Petition of Metropolitan Planning Commission Staff to Amend Section 11.4 Nonconformities Uses and Structures (File No. 22-003718-ZA).
Strategic Priority
Good Government
Description

This petition is a proposal to amend Section 11.4 Nonconformities Uses and Structures of the Zoning Ordinance to allow damaged or destroyed structures with nonconforming uses to be rebuilt to their pre-damaged state by right. There are currently four local Conservation Districts that would be affected by this amendment: Ardsley Park – Chatham Crescent, Ardmore, Parkside, and Historic Carver Village/Flatman Village Conservation Districts.

 

The historic portions of Savannah that have not qualified as Local Historic Districts are mostly located within the four established Conservation Districts. Currently, if buildings in one of these neighborhoods are damaged or destroyed to a certain extent, they cannot be rebuilt by right. This revision will allow these structures to be rebuilt by right.   

Recommendation

The Planning Commision recommends approval to the amendment to Section 11.4 Nonconformities Uses and Structures.
