Amend Zoning Bylaw Section 9.3 Pre-Existing Non-conforming Single and Two Family Residential Structures and Uses in the Residential 1, Residential 2, Residential 3, Residential 4 and Residential 6 Districts (NON-CONFORMING USES). VOTED to amend Section 9.3 of the North Andover Zoning Bylaw by changing the phrase "pre-existing non-conforming single and two family residential structures" to "pre-existing non-conforming single family residential structures" in titles and text in five (5) places, thus eliminating pre-existing non-conforming two family residential structures from the provisions of this section. Amended Section 9.3 to read as follows: Existing Non-conforming Single Family Residential Structures and Uses in the Residential 1, Residential 2, Residential 3, Residential 4 and Residential 6 Districts: a. Pre-existing Non-conforming Single Family Structures: Pre-existing non- conforming single family residential structures in the R1, R2, R3, R4 and R6 Districts, may be changed, extended or altered, provided that there is a finding by the Zoning Enforcement Officer (Building Commissioner) that such change, extension, or alteration shall not render the structure more non-conforming than the existing structure. Upon such determination, a building permit may be issued where applicable. The following circumstances shall be deemed not to increase the nonconforming nature of said structure: 1.Alteration of a structure which complies with all current yard setbacks, building coverage, and building height requirements but is located on a lot with insufficient area, where the structure after alteration will comply with all of current Bylaw requirements except for lot area. 2.Alteration to a structure which complies will all current yard setbacks, building coverage, and building height requirements but is located on a lot with insufficient frontage, where the structure after alteration will comply with all of current Bylaw requirements except for frontage. 3.Alteration to a structure which encroaches upon one or more required yard setbacks, where the structure after alteration will comply with all current bylaw requirements except for yard setbacks (the provisions of this clause shall apply regardless of whether the lot complies with current area and frontage requirements). 4.Alteration of a structure which encroaches upon one or more required yard setbacks, where the altered part of the structure will comply with all current yard setbacks, or the alteration is to the side or face of the structure which encroaches upon a required yard setback, and the alteration does not further encroach upon the required yard setback. In either case, the altered structure must comply with current building coverage and building height requirements (the provisions of this clause shall apply regardless of whether the lot complies with current area and frontage requirements). 5.Alteration to a nonconforming structure which will not increase the footprint of the existing structure provided that existing height restrictions shall not be exceeded. In the event that the Zoning Enforcement Officer (Building Commissioner) determines that the nonconforming nature of such structure would be increased by the proposed extension, alteration, or change, the Zoning Board of Appeals may, by special permit, allow such extension, alteration, or change where it determines that the proposed modification will not be substantially more detrimental than the existing nonconforming structure to the neighborhood. b. Pre-existing Nonconforming Single Family Structures: No portion of this Section 9.3, Pre-Existing Non-Conforming Single Family Structures and Uses in the Residential 1, Residential 2, Residential 3, Residential 4 and Residential 6 Zoning Districts shall be construed to allow for any uses other than those expressly allowed as defined in each above listed zoning district of the Zoning Bylaw.
