to which is identified by the title "Official Zoning MapfT, shall be
known as the "zoning map".
SECTION 2
PURPOSE AND INTENT
The zoning ordinance is declared to be necessary to promote the health,
safety, and welfare of the inhabitants of the City of Ocoee by dividing

use and size of buildings as to height and the number of stories, the
coverage of land by buildings, the size of yards and open spaces, the
location of buildings and the density of population in accordance with

congestion in the streets; secure safety from fire, panic, and other
dangers; provide adequate light and air; prevent the overcrowding of
land; avoid undue concentration of population; facilitate the adequate
provision of transportation, water, sewerage, shcools, parks, and
other public requirements. They have been made with reasonable con-
sideration, among other things, as to the character of the district
and its peculiar suitability for particular uses, and with a view to
conserving the value of buildings and encouraging the most appropriate
use of land throughout the community.

APPLICATION
e
e
(3) Non-conforming Uses of Land. Where lawful use of land
exists at the time of passage or amendment of this ordin-
ance which is made no longer permissible under the terms
of this ordinance as enacted or amended, such use may be
continued so long as it remains otherwise lawful subject to
the fol10wing provisions:
(a) No such non-conforming use shall be enlarged or in-
creased, or extended to occupy a greater area of land
than was occupied at the time of adoption or amendment
of this ordinance.
(b) No such non-conforming use shall be moved in whole or
in part to any other portion of the lot or parcel
occupied by such use at the time of adoption or amend-
ment of this ordinance.
(c) If any such non-conforming use of land ceases for any
reason for a period of more than 30 days, any sub-
sequent use of such land shall conform to the regu-
lations specified by this ordinance for the district
in which such ~d is located.
(4) Non-conforming Structures. Where lawful structure exists
at the time or passage of this ordinance which could not be
built under the terms of this ordinance by reason of
restrictions on area, lot coverage, height, yards, or other
characteristics of the structure or its location on the lot,
such structure may be continued so long as it remains other-
wise lawful subject to the following provisions:
(a) No such structure may be enlarged or altered in a way
which increases its non-conformity.
(b) Should such structure be destroyed by act of nature or
. man to an extent of more than 50% of its value as revealed by
an insurance appraisal, it shall not be reconstructed except -
in conformity with the provisions of this ordinance.
(c) Should such structure be moved for any reason for any
distance whatever, it shall thereafter conform to the
regulations for the district in whtch it is located
after it is moved.
( 5 )
Non-conforming Uses of Structures. If a lawful use of a
structure, or of structure and premises in combination,
exists at the time of passage or amendment of this ordin-
ance, which use would not be allowed in the district
under the terms of this ordinance, the lawful use may
be continued so long as it remains otherwise lawful, subject
to the following provisions:
(a) No existing structure devoted to a use not permitted
by this ordinance in the district in which it is located
shall be enlarged, extended, constructed, reconstructed,
moved, or structurally altered except in changing the
use of the structure to a use permitted in the district
in which it is located.
(b) Any non-conforming use may be extended throughout any
parts of a building which were manifestly arrange or
designed for such use at the time of adoption or amend-
ment of this ordinance, but no such use or activity shall
be extended to occupy any land outside such building.
(c) If no structural alterations are made, any non-conforming
use of a structure, or structure and premises, may be
changed to another non-conforming use provided that the
Board of Adjustment, either by general rule or by
making findings in the specific case, shall find that
the proposed use is equally appropriate or more approp-
riate to the district than the existing non-conforming
use. In permitting such change, the Board of Adjust-
ment may require appropriate conditions and safeguards,
e
e
A single vacant lot, non-con~orming as to area or width and
of record at the time of passage or amendment of this ordin-
ance, shall be construed as falling within the meaning
of the provisions of the preceding paragraph even though an
adjoining lot containing a principal building may be in the
same ownership.
If two or more adjoining vacant lots, or combinations of
vacant lots and pDrtions of vacant lots, with continuous
frontage and of record at the time of passage or amendment
of this ordinance are in single ownership, and such lots
individually are too smal1 to meet the width or area require-
ments of the district in which they are located, such groups
of lots shal1 be considered as a single plot or several plots
of at least minimum size, and the plot or plots in one owner-
ship shall be subject to the requirements of this ordinance
as to lot area and width.
A non-conforming use of a structure" a non-conforming use
of land, or a non-conforming use of structure and land shall
not be extBnded or enlarge after passage of this ordinance
by attachment of additional signs to a building, or the
placement of additional signs or display devices on the
land outside the building, or by the addition of other uses,
if such additions are of nature which would be prohibited
generally in the district involved.
To avoid undue hardship, nothing in this ordinance shall
be deemed to require a change in the plans, construction,
or designated use of any building on which actual con-
struction was lawfully begun prior to the effective date
of this ordinance or amendment hereto and upon which actual
building construction has been diligently carried on. Actual
construction is hereby defined to be placing of construction
materials in permanent position, fastened in a permanent _____
manner; except that where demolition or removal of an ~/
existing structure has been substantially begun preparatory :'
to rebuilding, such demolition or removal shall be deemed
to be actual construction, provided that actual construction
work shall be diligently. carried on until the completion
of the building involved.
(2) Non-conformin~ Lots of Record. In any zoning district in
which single-family dwellings are permitted, not with-
standing limitations imposed by other provisions of this
ordinance, a single-family dwelling and customary acces-
sory buildings may be erected on any smngle lot of record
which cpntains an area or width less than that required for
the erection of a single-family residence in the district
which is in separate ownership at the time of passage or
amendment o~ these regulations, provided that yard dimensions
and requirements not involving width or area of lot shal1
conform to the regulations ~or the district in which such lot
is located.
It is the intant of this ordinance to permit these non-
con~ormities to continue until they are removed, but not
to encourage their survival. Such uses are declared by this
ordinance to be incompatible with permitted uses in the
districts involved. It is further the intent of this ord-
inance that non-conformities shall not be enlarged upon,
expanded or extended, nor shal1 existing non-conformities
be used as grounds for adding other structUres or uses
prohibited elsewhere in the smae district.
5.4 NONCONFORMING LOTS, USES OF LAND, STRUCTURES, STRUCTURES AND
PREMISES, AND CHARACTERISTICS OF USES
(1) Intent. Within the zoning districts established by this
ordinance or amendments hereof there exist lots, structures,

e

in or on which a non-conforming use is superseded by
a permitted use, shall thereafter conform to the regu-
lations for the district in which such structure is
located, and the non-conforming use may not thereafter
be resumed.
(e) When a non-conforming use of a structure, or structure
and premises in combination, is discontinued or aban-
doned for six consecutive months or for 18 months during
any three year period, the structure, or structure and
premises in combinatio~, shall not thereafter be used
except in conformance with the regulations of the
district in which it is located.

of the land.

time of passage or amendment of this ordinance shall not
be increased.
(7)
(8 )

strengthening or restoring to a safe condition of any
building or part thereof declared to be unsafe by any city
official charged with protecting the public safety, upon
order of such official.
