A.
The continuation, but not necessarily the intensification or expansion,
of any use in existence on March 6, 1989, may be permitted, unless
the use has been abandoned for more than one year or is otherwise
restricted by existing municipal ordinances.
B.
If any existing use does not conform with the provisions of this
chapter, its intensification or expansion may be permitted only in
accordance with the variance procedures in this chapter.
Except as otherwise provided, the following types of land are
permitted to be developed with a single-family dwelling, if a dwelling
is not already placed there, notwithstanding that such development
may be inconsistent with the density provisions of this chapter:
A.
A legal parcel of land, not being part of a recorded or approved
subdivision, that was recorded as of December 1, 1985;
B.
Land that received a building permit subsequent to December 1, 1985,
but prior to March 6, 1989;
C.
Land that was subdivided into recorded, legally buildable lots, where
the subdivision received final approval between June 1, 1984, and
December 1, 1985; or
D.
Land that was subdivided into recorded, legally buildable lots, where
the subdivision received the final approval after December 1, 1985,
and provided that either development of any such land conforms to
the Intensely Developed Area, Limited Development Area or Resource
Conservation Area requirements in this chapter or the area of the
land has been counted against the growth allocation permitted under
this chapter.
Nothing in this section may be interpreted as altering any requirements
of this chapter related to water-dependent facilities or Habitat Protection
Areas.
