Latest version.
  • If part of a lot or parcel of land having not less than the required area for its land use district is acquired for public use in any manner, including dedication, condemnation, or purchase, and if the remainder of the lot or parcel has not less than eighty percent of the area required for its land use district, the remainder shall be considered as having the required area, but setback, side yard, and rear yard requirements shall be met. If a lot or parcel of land has an authorized nonconforming status as to area under any county ordinance, the parcel shall retain its nonconforming status if the acquisition for public use does not reduce the remainder below eighty percent of the existing nonconforming area. The setback, side yard, and rear yard requirements of the land use district shall be met, except for buildings or structures in existence at the time of public acquisition.
