Sec. 20-79. Non -Conforming Recreational Beachlots.
(a) Intent. The intent of this section is to prevent the
expansion of non -conforming recreational beachlots by estab-
lishing a baseline documenting the allowed use of each legal
non -conforming recreational beachlot.
(b) Within one year after the adoption of this ordinance
all non -conforming recreational beachlots must receive a non-
conforming use permit or the use must cease and desist. The
permit shall be issued following receipt of satisfactory proof
concerning the nature and extent of the legal non -conforming use
as it existed on or before January 18, 1982. The permit shall
describe the nature and extent of the allowed use. The use may
not be expanded or intensified over what is described in the
permit.
(c) Applications for a non -conforming use permit shall be
filed with the Zoning Administrator on prescribed forms. The
Zoning Administrator shall set a time and place for a hearing
before the Planning Commission. At the hearing the Commission
shall hear such persons as wish to be heard. Notice of the
hearing date shall be mailed not less than ten (10) days before
the date of the hearing to all owners of property on the lake
where the beachlot is located. Published notice shall also be
made once at least ten (10) days before the hearing. Failure to
give notice, however, shall not invalidate the proceedings.
At the close of the hearing the Planning Commission
shall make a recommendation to the City Council. Upon consider-
ation of the Planning Commission recommendation the City Council,
shall then make the final decision and the non -conforming
beachlot permit, establishing the nature and extent of the use
