21 Checklist of Up-to-Date Pages (This checklist will be updated with the printing of each Supplement) From our experience in publishing Looseleaf Supplements on a page-for-page substitution basis, it has become evident that through usage and supplementation many pages can be inserted and removed in error. The following listing is included in this Code as a ready guide for the user to determine whether the Code volume properly reflects the latest printing of each page. In the first column all page numbers are listed in sequence. The second column reflects the latest printing of the pages as they should appear in an up-to-date volume. The letters "OC" indicate the pages have not been reprinted in the Supplement Service and appear as published for the original Code. When a page has been reprinted or printed in the Supplement Service, this column reflects the identification number or Supplement Number printed on the bottom of the page. In addition to assisting existing holders of the Code, this list may be used in compiling an up-to-date copy from the original Code and subsequent Supplements.

139 ZONING continuance due to acts of force majeure shall not constitute abandonment, provided that a good faith effort is made to reestablish the use. c. Expansions of nonconforming singlefamily and two-family residences shall be permitted and shall not require Administrative Site Plan approval, provided that the project complies with the Building Placement Standards for single-family detached or duplex lots set forth in Section of this article. 3. Nonconforming Structures. a. To prevent changes in regulation from unduly burdening property owners, legally established, nonconforming structures may continue to be used and maintained. Expansions, repairs, alterations, and improvements to nonconforming structures shall be permitted only in accordance with the following provisions: i. Internal and external repairs, alterations, and improvements that do not increase the square footage of the nonconforming structure shall be permitted and shall not be subject to the requirements of this article. ii. Expansions to a nonconforming structure shall be permitted as follows: (a) (b) If the total square footage of the proposed improvement is less than fifty (50) percent of the structure's net square footage at the time it became nonconforming, the improvement shall require Administrative Site Plan Review [see Subsection (C) below]. If the total square footage of the proposed improvement is equal to or exceeds fifty (50) percent of the structure's net square (c) (d) footage at the time it became nonconforming, the entire structure and site improvements shall be brought into compliance with current regulations. Once the cumulative total of additional square footage of improvements equals to fifty (50) percent of the structure's net square footage at the time it became nonconforming, no additional expansions shall be permitted and the entire structure and site improvements shall be brought into compliance with current regulations. For the purposes of this article, net square footage shall refer to the square footage indicated on the building permit or determined through equivalent evidence. b. If a nonconforming structure is damaged by fire, flood, explosion, wind, war, riot or any other act of force majeure, repairs shall be subject to the following provisions: i. If the repair/replacement cost is less than fifty (50) percent of the value of the structure based upon the average of two (2) independent appraisals, the structure may be reconstructed up to the same building height and within the same building footprint existing prior to the damage, provided that an application for final building permit has been submitted within twelve (12) months of the date of such damage unless extended by the Board of County Commissioners. ii. If the repair/replacement cost is equal to or exceeds fifty (50)

140 MIAMI-DADE COUNTY CODE iii. percent of the building's value based upon the average of two (2) independent appraisals, the building and site improvements shall be brought into compliance with current regulations. Routine internal and external maintenance, repairs and material replacement such as reroofing, painting, window or door replacement, mechanical equipment repair and replacement, plumbing and electrical maintenance, and similar repair, maintenance and replacements shall be permitted and shall not be subject to the requirements of this Article. c. If a nonconforming building is deemed to be unsafe pursuant to Chapter 8 of this Code, and demolition is required, the building shall be rebuilt in accordance with current regulations. d. In addition to the requirements of this section, all repairs, improvements and expansions to a nonconforming building shall comply with the Florida Building Code. C. Administrative Site Plan Review Standards. 1. Where Subsection (B) above permits the expansion of a nonconforming use or structure subject to administrative review, the project shall be reviewed according to the plan review standards outlined in this sub-section. The intent of the plan review shall be to allow for the continuation of viable uses and structures while seeking opportunities to lessen the adverse impacts of proposed expansions and encouraging nonconformities to ultimately be brought into compliance. 2. Expansions to nonconforming single-family and two-family residences are permitted and shall not require Administrative Site Plan Review (ASPR) approval, provided said expansion complies with the single-family detached or duplex lot criteria indicated in the building placement standards of this article. One-family and two-family residences that were rendered nonconforming due to the assignment of a nonresidential land use designation shall be permitted to continue and expand in accordance with Subsection (B) above. The expansion shall not require ASPR approval provided said expansion meets the applicable single-family detached or duplex lot criteria indicated in the building placement standards of this article. 3. Expansions permitted under Subsection (B) above subject to the Administrative Site Plan Review (ASPR) process, shall be permitted by the Department upon a showing that the project satisfies all of the following criteria: a. The expansions will not cause adverse impacts, such as traffic, noise, dust, odors and parking congestion, on surrounding properties or significantly change the character of the area. b. The expansion shall comply with the setback requirements applicable only to the expanded area, as indicated in the Building Placement Standards set forth in Section of this article. Other requirements set forth in Section such as building frontage may be waived by the Director. c. The number of parking spaces necessitated by the expansion is provided in accordance with the minimum number of parking spaces requirements in Section (F)(2). d. The expansion shall comply with the street tree requirement in this article and with the parking lot buffers requirement in Chapter 18A (Landscape Code). 4.

141 ZONING posed to enhance compatibility of the project with the surrounding area, including without limitation, the following: a. Limit the manner in which the use is conducted, including restricting hours of operation and other restraints, to minimize adverse impacts such as noise, vibration, air pollution, glare and odor. b.

It extends for a horizontal distance of thirty thousand (30,000) feet from the outer periphery of the conical surface. (16) Transitional surfaces connect the primary surfaces, clear zone surface, and approachdeparture clearance surfaces to the inter horizontal surface, conical surface, outer horizontal surface or other transitional surfaces.
