Regulation 384 has been revised as follows: 384 Non-conformity, Other than Use A building or structure which is conforming in use but which does not conform to height, setback, land coverage, parking or similar dimensional requirements of the Regulations shall not be considered to be non-conforming within the meaning of Section 383 and 385 of these Regulations. However, no permit shall be issued nor shall any changes be made on such building or structure that will result in an increase in the non-conformity. |

Download Reasons the word “extent” which clarifies the intent of this section, to state that a non-conformity can not be made worse than it is. By using the term extent, it applies to linear distances (as in setback or building height), area (as in lot coverage), or other units of measure as may apply to those regulations which are measurable and define a non-conformity. |
