ORDINANCE NO.
AN URGENCY ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO ADDING
SECTION 19.62.020(8) TO THE SAN BERNARDINO MUNICIPAL CODE
AUTHORIZING THE DIRECTOR OF PLANNING AND BUILDING SERVICES TO
PERMIT REOCCUPANCY OF CERTAIN NON-CONFORMING STRUCTURES, AND
DECLARING THE URGENCY THEREOF.
THE MAYOR AND COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO
DO ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1.
Section 19.62.020 (8) of the San Bernardino
8 Municipal Code (Development Code) is hereby added to read as
9 follows:
10
"8. The Director shall permit a non-conforming structure to
11 be reoccupied without complying with the building dimensional
12 requirements (pertaining to height, setbacks and/or lot coverage)
13 or the landscaping requirements in this Title 19 where the use of
14 the non-conforming structure has been discontinued for a period of
15 six months or more and if the Director determines that a portion
16 of the structure or the required on-site parking must be removed
17 in order for the structure to conform with the provisions of Title
18 19. All other requirements in the Municipal Code, including but
19 not limited to Chapter 19.62, shall apply to the reoccupancy of
the structure."
SECTION 2.
The recently adopted Development Code of the
City has left numerous nonconforming structures making new and
continued financing difficult and in many cases impossible. It
has not been the intent of the Mayor and Common Council to drive
viable businesses out of the City by making their buildings non-
conforming due merely to new setback, height or building coverage
requirements.
It is urgent that such clarification be made
immediately to protect the financial viability of these businesses

and to protect the public health, safety and welfare by retaining

abandoned buildings in the City.

upon the date of adoption.

adopted by the Mayor and Common Council of the City of
