•s STAFF REPORT FOR ORDINANCE NO. 584 JULY 15, 1996 PAGE TWO OF TWO Planning Commission Resolution No. 448-96, approving a variance for an eight foot encroachment into the required thirty foot front yard setback off Adams Street was approved by the Commission on June 05, 1996. A contingency was added that if the applicants failed to receive a code amendment to Chapter 1123 entitled"Nonconforming Buildings, Uses and Structures," that the variance would be void. Applicant Tom Manke, has gathered a petition, including 269 names, in favor of the canopy at the site. This petiton was presented at the June 24, 1996 City Council meeeting. The intent of Chapter 1123 of the Municipal Code is listed as: "the intent of this chapter is that all nonconforming uses shall be eventually brought into conformity." The proposed Ordinance No. 584 would exempt canopies on a legal nonconforming use site from being considered an enlargement of the property. Thus, a canopy on a legal nonconforming use site would not be considered an enlargement, but would be required to adhere to required setback of the zoning district. Thus, the request before the City Council is whether to consider adoption of Ordnance No. 584, an Ordinance Amending Title 1123, entitled, "Nonconforming Building Structures and Uses." The City Attorney has reviewed this ordinance and has found it is acceptable in form. 411 Adoption of this ordinance will require a roll call vote.
