Section 18.04
A non-conforming residential building may be expanded into a required side or rear yard in a manner that does not comply with the setback standards with approval from the Village President. The Village President shall utilize the following standards:
The expansion does not involve an additional story to the residential building.
The expansion does not extend closer to the lot line than any existing, non- conforming part of the structure.
The addition does not extend beyond the predominant existing building line along the same block.
The addition retains compliance with all other setback, lot coverage, and height requirements.
The addition will meet all minimum building code requirements.
The resultant addition, in terms of dimensions and design, would be compatible with the established character of the neighborhood.
The design of the addition must be compatible with the existing structure and not detract from the appearance of the site.
The expansion of a residential building with a non-conforming yard, not meeting the requirements above, shall be prohibited unless a variance is granted by the Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA).
