Is my lot a conforming lot?

When asked this question, the Code Enforcement Office will research the property to determine if the lot meets the minimum lot frontage, depth and size requirements. They will also research whether the buildings existing on the lot meet the zoning district’s particular setback, lot coverage and bulk requirements. If the lot is non-conforming, the staff will research whether any variances have been granted for the property and whether the lot is legally conforming or non-conforming. In general, non-conforming properties/structures will be considered “legally non-conforming” if they were constructed/created in accordance with the standards in place at that time. A legally non-conforming structure will be allowed to remain indefinitely. Should the structure be destroyed/removed, then any new structure will need to meet the current standards for that particular zoning district. Space and Bulk standards for each zone can be found in section 507.2 of the Comprehensive Land Use Code.
