COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT REPORT, BRIAN WESSEL SECOND READING, Ordinance No. 15 - 98, Zoning Text Amendment Pertaining to Non - Conforming Structures, Brian Wessel - Mr. Wessel stated this item received its first reading at the November 23, 1998, Council meeting. The amendment would allow alterations to an existing, residential non -conforming structure if "... they will improve the livability thereof, provided they will not increase the number of dwelling units or expand the size or degree of non- conformity of the existing structure". The existing wording of the ordinance would not allow the size of the building or structure to be increased. Staff would maintain that this defeats the intent of the ordinance which is to allow an expansion to improve the livability of the structure. 6
