What happens when the status of a use changes?
Cyburbia - urban planning community -
Here is a theoretical situation for everyone to comment on: Say your municipality allows use variances.
Said use in X zoning district requires a use variance at the time it is reviewed. It is approved. 10 years later the zoning code is amended to permit said use as a special use within X zoning district.
What’s is the zoning status of the use which was granted a use variance 10 years earlier?
Alternately, a use is a special use in X zoning district, but 10 years later is becomes a prohibited use (requires use variance).
What is the zoning status of said use after it becomes a prohibited use?
Let’s hear from the throbbing brain: What do you think or know you would do in these situations?
