155 1 -� PROPOSED ZONING ORDINANCE TEXT AMENDMENT ARTICLE XI NON -- CQNFORMITIE$ SECTION 11.9c) ISSUE: In the administration of zoning/building permits during the last 4-5 years, the Planning Department staff has interpreted Section 11.9c of the Zoning Ordinance to allow for replacement of mobile homes where such a unit constitutes a second principal structure on one lot, unless the unit had been removed from the lot for a period greater than six months. The section of the ordinance which regulates the number of principal uses on a lot is Section 6.3.1 which states: It is the express- intent of this ordinance to regulate the number of principal structures constructed on each lot within Orange County. There shall be only one single family residence per lot . . . . A The staff interpretation that Section 11.9c) would apply to the replacement of mobile homes which violated Section 6.3.1 is incorrect. The Ordinance specifically addresses the replacement of non- conforming uses in Section 11.9d) . The only exception is Section 11.9d) which specifically addresses the replacement of mobile homes in a mobile home park. Staff is no longer issuing building/zoning permits for the replacement of these non-conforming mobile homes. However, staff would like to pursue amendment of the Ordinance to specifically allow this action. At issue is whether the intent of the non-conforming provisions to bring such situations into compliance with the Ordinance over time should be reconsidered given the nature of this housing type and the flexibility it provides in upgrading and/or replacement of such units. EXISTING ORDINANCE: 11.9 Non-Conforming Uses of )Major Structures, Or $truQt- urs and Premises in Combination Non-conforming use of structures with a value higher than in 11.8 above, or of such structures and premises in combination, may be continued, provided:
