§ 6-2. NONCONFORMING LOTS.

6-2.1.

Single Lot of Record with Lot Area and/or Lot Width Nonconformity.

(A)

When an undeveloped lot has an area or width which does not conform to the dimensional requirements of the district where located, but such lot was approved and of record at the time of adoption of this Ordinance or any subsequent amendment which renders such lot nonconforming, then such lot may be used for a use permitted in the district where located, provided that the setback dimensions and other requirements, except area or width, are complied with.

(B)

In residential zones, only a single-family dwelling shall be permitted on the nonconforming lot.

(C)

Nothing contained herein exempts a lot from meeting the applicable provisions of the Nash County Board of Health regulations.

6-2.2.

DELETED.

6-2.3.

Reduction of a Lot of Record. A lot of record reduced to less than the required area, width, or setback dimensions as the result of a condemnation or purchase by a local or state government agency shall become a nonconforming lot of record.

6-2.4.

Lot of Record with Setback Nonconformity. When the use proposed for an undeveloped nonconforming lot is one that is conforming in all other respects except that the applicable setback requirements cannot reasonably be complied with, then the entity authorized by this Ordinance to issue a permit for the proposed use (the Zoning Administrator, Board of Adjustment, or Board of Commissioners) may allow deviations from the applicable setback requirements if it finds that:

(A)

The property cannot reasonably be developed for the use proposed without such deviations;

(B)

The deviations are necessitated by the size or shape of the nonconforming lot; and

(C)

The property can be developed as proposed without any significantly adverse impact on surrounding properties or the public health or safety.
