In Re : Retroactive Conversion Permit Ordinance
Dear Mayor Goodland and Council Members :
With this are two prototype ordinance forms for implementation
of the retroactive conversion permit program. The first is so
constructed that the housing appeal board can grant the remedy
without need of recourse to the Zoning Board of Adjustment on
zoning matters .
The second retains a role for the Zoning Board of Adjustment in
granting exceptions with respect to "non-grandfathered" non-
conformance with zoning requirements .
Please read very carefully and do not hesitate to call me with
any questions you may have .
The ordinance has been developed in close consultation with
your administrative and enforcement staff, and is understood
by them. The action to take is to decide on the final form of
ordinance to consider, and set a hearing for first passage for
the next meeting.
Respectfully submitted,
John R. Klaus
