Title
Amending Toledo Municipal Code Part Eleven - Planning and Zoning Code by repealing Section 1114.0402 Use of Nonconforming Lots, and enacting an amended version of Section 1114.0402; and declaring an emergency.
Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
This ordinance updates and enacts a new section of the Toledo Municipal Code (“TMC”) to correct an inconsistency in the existing code. The change will eliminate the restriction of residential nonconforming lots to be used exclusively for detached houses and accessory uses and instead permit residential nonconforming lots for those uses allowed within the underlying zoning district pursuant to TMC Section 1104. The proposed text amendment is consistent with the Forward Toledo Comprehensive Land Use Plan and stated purpose of the Zoning Code.
