If a residence in the Primary EDD is damaged or destroyed, <br /> it cannot be replaced without changing the use of the property to a use permitted in the district. <br /> Furthermore, if a current resident/owner chose to move out of the EDD, and the residence were <br /> vacant for more than 180 days, it could no longer be used as a residence.
