The purposes of this chapter are to:

(1) Establish the legal status of a nonconformance by creating provisions through which a nonconformance may be maintained, altered, reconstructed, expanded or terminated;

(2) Provide for the temporary establishment of uses that are not otherwise permitted in a zone and to regulate such uses by their scope and period of use; and

(3) Encourage the adaptive re-use of existing public facilities, which will continue to serve the community, and to ensure public review of redevelopment plans by allowing:

(a) Temporary re-uses of closed public school facilities retained in school district ownership, and the reconversion of a temporary re-use back to a school use;

(b) Permanent re-use of surplus nonresidential facilities (e.g., schools, fire stations, government facilities) not retained in school district ownership; or

(c) Permanent re-use of historic structures listed on the National Register or designated as City landmarks by the City Historian and accepted by the City Council. (Ord. 42-02 § 2 (21A.32.010))
