6.08.01. Nonconforming uses.

The lawful use of a building or land existing for which an existing lease entered into with Santa Rosa County provides for or for which a building permit has been granted as of the date of adoption of this ordinance shall not be affected by this ordinance, although such does not conform to the provisions of this ordinance.

Setbacks as established by the restrictive covenants of any subdivision recorded prior to the effective date of this ordinance shall take priority over the setbacks as established by this ordinance.

6.08.02. Land development certificate.

Before a building shall be added to, erected, reconstructed, structurally altered, moved, removed or demolished, a land development permit shall be obtained from the Director after approval by the Board of County Commissioners or in the case of single-family homes, the Director. The permit shall be on a form provided by the Director (except for those single-family homes, or portions thereof, located waterward of the CCCL, which shall require approval of the BCC). Said permit shall be obtained prior to issuance of any building permit.

The Board of County Commissioners may establish by resolution a fee schedule for activities required by this ordinance. The fee schedule may be amended from time to time by resolution of the Board of County Commissioners.

Each application for a Land Development Permit shall be accompanied by a plot plan drawn to scale showing the actual dimensions of the lot to be built upon, the size, shape, height and location of the building to be erected, dimensions and location of existing buildings, and width of front, side and rear yards and conforming to the requirements of Section 4.04.06.

A Land Development Permit shall be valid for the issuance of a building permit for one (1) year after issuance. After that time a new permit must be obtained. A record of the application and plot plan shall be kept in the files of the Director for a period of not less than three (3) years.

The director may revoke a land development permit issued in a case where there has been a false statement or misrepresentation in the application or on the plot plan for which the certificate was issued.

6.08.03. Buildings to conform.

No building shall be erected, reconstructed or structurally altered or land be used which does not comply with the regulations established for the district in which the building or land is located. Any building hereafter erected, reconstructed or structurally altered, shall not encroach upon the minimum yards and other open spaces, including the intensity of use provisions, contained in this ordinance. (Every principal building shall front on a street).
