§ 20.56.060. Conversion.

A nonconforming use may be converted to another nonconforming use if the hearing examiner issues a special use permit for the conversion, pursuant to the application and review procedures prescribed in Chapter 20.60. The examiner may issue the permit only after finding that:

1.

The structure housing the existing nonconforming use cannot be used for any of the permitted uses because of its particular design.

2.

The proposed use will be as compatible with the permitted uses of the use district as the existing nonconforming use.

3.

Measures will be taken, if necessary, to protect the neighborhood from detrimental land use effects which might result from the conversion of the nonconforming use.
