Section 7. Section 4-26(i) "Nonconformities" of the New Hope City Code is hereby amended
to read as follows:
3
(i) Nonconformities. A structure or the use of a structure or premises which was lawful before the
passage or amendment of this Code but which is not in conformity with the provisions of this Code
may be continued subject to the following conditions. Historic structures, as defined in Section 4-2
of this Code, shall be subject to the following provisions in Section 4-26(0(1) through (4) of this
Code:
Section 8. Section 4-26(i) "Nonconformities" of the New Hope City Code is further
amended by amending subsections (2) and (4) and adding new subsection (5) to read as follows:
(2) A structural alteration within the inside dimensions of a nonconforming use or structure is
permissible provided it utilizes flood resistant materials so as not to result in increasing the
flood damage potential of that use or structure. A structural addition to a structure must be
elevated to the regulatory floodprotection elevation in accordance with Section 4-2 of this
Code.
(3) The cost of all structural alterations or additions both inside and outside ora structure to
any nonconforming structure over the life of the structure shall not exceed 50 percent of the
market value of the structure unless the conditions of this Code are satisfied. The cost of all
structural alterations and'additions constructed since the adoption of the city's initial floodplain
controls must be calculated into today's current cost which will include all costs such as
construction materials and a reasonable cost placed on all manpower or labor. If the current cost
of all previous and proposed alterations and additions exceeds 50 percent of the current market
value of the structure, then the structure must meet the standards of subsection 4-26(d) of this
Code for new structures.
(4) If any nonconforming use of a structure or land or nonconforming structure is
destmeYm~ substantially damaged, as defined by Section 4-2 of this Code, it shall not be
reconstructed except in conformity with the provisions of this Code. The city may issue a permit
for reconstruction if the use is located outside the floodway and, upon reconstruction, is
adequately elevated on fill in conformity with the provisions of this Code.
(5) If a substantial improvement occurs, as defined in Section 4-2 of this Code, from any
combination of a building addition to the outside dimensions of the existing building or a
rehabilitation, reconstruction, alteration, or other improvement to the inside dimensions of an
existing nonconforming building, then the building addition, as required by Section (0(2)
above, and the existing nonconforming building must meet the requirements of this Code for
new structures, depending upon whether the structure is in the floodway or flood fringe,
respectively.
Section 9. Section 4-2(b) "Definitions" of the New Hope City Code is hereby amended by
amending "Floodplain" and "Recreational Vehicle" and adding new definitions of"Lowest Floor",
"Manufactured Home", "Substantial Damage" and "Substantial Improvement" to read as follows:
Floodplain means the channel or beds proper and the areas adjoining a wetland, lake or
watercourse which have been or hereafter may be covered by the regional flood. Floodplain areas
within New Hope shall encompass all areas designated as Zone A, Zone~lE, Zone~lO, orZone
AH on the flood insurance rate map adopted in Section 4-26(b)(1) of this Code.
4
Lowest Floor means the lowest floor of the lowest enclosed area (including basement).
Manufactured Home means a structure, transportable in one or more sections, which is built
on a permanent chassis and is designed for use with or without a permanent foundation when
attached to the required utilities. The term "manufactured home" does not include the term
"recreational vehicle. ' ~
Recreational vehicle means a vehicle that is built on a single chassis, is designed to be self-
propelled or permanently towable by a light duty truck, and is designed primarily not for use
as a permanent dwelling but as temporary living quarters for recreational, camping, travel or
seasonal use. For the purposes of this Code, the term recreational vehicle shall be
synonymous with the term travel trailer/travel vehicle.
Substantial Damage means damage of any origin sustained by a structure where the cost of
restoring the structure to its before damaged condition would equal or exceed 50 percent of
the market value of the structure before the damage occurrecL
Substantial Improvement means within any consecutive 365-day period, any reconstruction,
rehabilitation (including normal maintenance and repair), repair after damage, addition or
other improvement of a structure, the cost of which equals or exceeds 50percent of the market
value of the structure before the "start of construction" of the improvement. This term
includes structures that have incurred "substantial damage,' regardless of the actual repair
work performed. The term does not, however, include either:
(a) ~lny project for improvement of a structure to correct existing violations of state or
local health, sanitary, or safety code specifications which have been identified by the local
code enforcement official and which are the minimum necessary to assure safe living
conditions.
(b) Any alteration of an "historic structure,' provided that the alteration will not
preclude the structure's continued designation as an "historic structur~ ' For the purpose
of this Ordinance, "historic structure" shall be defined in the Code of Federal
Regulations, Part 59.1.
