V. DESTRUCTION OR EXPANSION OF EXISTING USES OR STRUCTURES

A. Single family residences lawfully in existence as of the effective date of this Ordinance, which would otherwise be considered non-conforming uses, shall be exempt from the provisions of Section 104 Destruction of Non-Conforming Uses with regard to unintentional destruction. Such single family residences may be rebuilt if unintentionally destroyed, provided the reconstruction of the residence complies with the following standards:

1. the residence is rebuilt on the same location on the lot, or in compliance with the setback standards for the underlying zone; and

2. the square footage of the replacement structure does not exceed the square footage of the original structure by more than twenty percent (20%); and

3. if the property is within an area subject to the architectural standards of the SCR-DNC or SCR-OTC district, the construction style of the replacement structure complies with those architectural standards.

(Amended by Ord. No. 5304/9-03.)

B. Except as provided in subsection VI., Restricted Land Uses, and designated Cultural Resources which are governed under Section 132 Cultural Resource Management Ordinance, expansion of all other uses lawfully in existence as of the effective date of this Ordinance shall be allowed to expand or be altered without limit as to the size of contiguous expansion; subject to compliance with:

1. The provisions of this subsection;

2. The requirements of Section 133, Development Review ; and

3. The development regulations and design standards contained in Sections 137 through 142 as they apply to that portion of the use or structure being expanded or to that portion of the lot on which the expansion will occur.

4. Notwithstanding the maximum setback regulations contained in Section 137 (VIII), additions to structures lawfully in existence as of the effective date of this Ordinance may be approved without regard to the maximum setback requirements, provided the following criteria are met:

a. the front façade of the addition is set back no further from the front property line than the front façade of the existing structure;

b. no additional parking is proposed between the addition and the front property line;

c. the addition increases the Floor Area Ratio of the project, as required by subse ctions (B) through (F) of this section;

d. the applicant can demonstrate that the construction of the addition does not preclude further additions and increases to the Floor Area Ratio of the project.

(Amended by Ord. No. 4930/7-00 and 5973/7-11.)

C. Expansion of existing uses by addition to or reconstruction of the existing structure or facility on the same lot, or parcel, or by constructing new, unattached structures or facilities on the same lot, or parcel is allowed without regard to FAR standards of the district, provided the resulting FAR of the enlarged, reconstructed or combined structures or facilities is greater than the original FAR and the combination of new and old structures or facilities are sited so as not to preclude further intensification of the use on the lot or parcel.

D. Expansion of existing uses by addition to or reconstruction of the existing structure or facility where all or a portion of the expanded structure or facility is sited on an adjacent lot or parcel [1] , or where the new structure or facility is unattached to the existing structure or facility but constructed on or over a lot line so as to bridge the two properties [1] , shall meet the FAR requirements of the district for that portion of the reconstructed, combined or new structure or facility situated on the adjacent land if the gross floor area of the structure or facility sited on the adjacent land is equal to or greater than 40 percent (40%) of the net acreage of the adjacent lot, parcel or tract.   If the portion on the adjacent property is less than forty percent (40%) of the net acreage, the expansion is exempt from the FAR requirements provided the new combination of buildings is sited so as not to preclude further intensification of the use on the combined property.

E. Expansion of existing uses by construction of a new structure or facility wholly on an adjacent lot, parcel or tract where the new structure or facility is not functionally attached to the existing structure or facility is subject to the FAR requirements of the district.

F. Interior alterations of lawfully existing structures are not expansions of existing structures and are exempt from the requirements of Sections 137 through 142.

G. Expansion of existing parking lots and facilities, other than commercial parking facilities, is only permitted as it relates to the expansion of affiliated uses and only at or below the ratios allowed in Tables 2 and 3 of subsection XI o f Section 137.

[1]   Construction bridging a lot line may require either adherence to special provisions of the Uniform Building Code for common wall structures, or may be achieved through a lot line adjustment.   The provision here does not negate the need to do one of these two actions; but rather, only speaks to how the floor area ratio of such a building expansion would be treated by SCPA   provisions.
