"122 13 Repair, Maintenance and Rehabilitation Permitted
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Ordinance, the
repair, maintenance, remodeling and rehabilitation (hereafter
referred to as 'work') as to non -conforming buildings and
structures shall be permitted only in accordance with the
provisions of this Section Such work, as to any building or
structure which is classified in a legal non -conforming status
by reason of the application thereto of this Ordinance, shall
be permitted provided that
(a) all other applicable laws, including, but not limited
to the building regulations of this City are complied with, and
(b) the cost estimate of such work, as determined by the
Director of Public Works, does not exceed, in any calendar year,
50% of the then assessed value of all such buildings and struc-
tures. and
(c) such work does not constitute an enlargement of such
building or structure as to volume or area
Where such work is accomplished pursuant to this Section,
the same shall not have the effect of extending the period of
abatement or term of the lawful use of such building or structure
otherwise established by the provisions of this Ordinance "
SECTION 2 That this Ordinance is hereby declared to be an urgency
Ordinance and shall take effect immediately it shall thereafter remain
in effect for a period of ninety (90) days from and after the date of
its adoption A statement of facts constituting the basis for such
urgency is as follows that the present zoning regulations of this
City do not make provision for the issuance of building permits to
allow repair, maintenance remodeling or rehabilitation of existing
non -conforming buildings or structures, that the lack of such a regula-
tion if not remedied, may well lead to the dilapidation of buildings and
structures which are legally non -conforming since such work cannot be
accomplished by reason of such status, that good planning practice re-
quires such a regulation as a part of the City's zoning regulations•
that the public interest, convenience and necessity requires the imme-
diate adoption of such a regulation
SECTION 3 That the Planning Commission of this City is hereby
instructed, as a City initiated matter to institute a public hearing
to consider whether the regulation contained herein shall be made a
permanent part of the City's zoning regulations
