Staff Response: Some properties in the area already are non - conforming <br />and the lessening of setback and buffer requirements proposed in the <br />overlay districts may actually help some of the properties become <br />conforming (or lessen the non - conformity). Regardless, Article 8 of the <br />UDO addresses how various nonconformities (e.g., lot size, uses, <br />structures, etc.) are regulated. Non - conforming uses may continue to <br />operate but cannot be enlarged, altered, or replaced. Staff is not aware of <br />any instances where an existing conforming use will be made non- <br />conforming by adopting the proposed overlay districts. Property owners <br />who have questions or concerns related to this issue are encouraged to <br />contact Planning staff to discuss their concerns and receive a <br />determination. <br />9. A BOCC member asked about the requirement on intra -site accessibility <br />and whether this might be a problem for certain lots. <br />Staff Response: Staff is not aware of lots in the proposed overlay districts <br />where this requirement would be difficult or impossible to meet. This <br />proposed requirement is an existing requirement in the economic <br />development districts (Section 6.9.10(F)(2)(a)) and is being suggested for <br />the Efland overlay districts because of the positive effects the requirement <br />tends to have on circulation on public streets. <br />c.
