All nonconforming uses and structures are governed by the LDR Chapter 904 regulations. In addition, within the Roseland corridor plan area the following non -conformities regulations shall apply: (a) Nonconforming property. It is the intent of this chapter to allow nonconforming properties to continue, but also to encourage their conformity to what shall be referred to as a "compatible property." A "compatible property" shall be considered in compliance with the intent of the Roseland Corridor special regulations. For the purposes of the Roseland Corridor special regulations, "compatible property" is defined as any property, with improvements permitted prior to adoption of these special regulations, that conforms to the Roseland Corridor landscape buffer, color, and signage requirements of these special regulations. (b) Continuance of nonconforming property. A nonconforming property may be continued, subject to the following provisions: Use of nonconforming structures abandoned for a period of twelve (12) or more consecutive months (cross-reference LDR section 904.08) located on a nonconforming property shall not be permitted until the property is brought into compliance with the requirements of a compatible property. Except as otherwise provided herein, there may be a change of tenancy or ownership of a nonconforming property, without the loss of nonconforming status, if use of the nonconforming structures is not abandoned for a period of twelve (12) or more consecutive months. Colors of a structure located on a nonconforming property shall not be changed from those existing at the time of the adoption of these special regulations, unless the new, to -be -painted colors comply with the Roseland special color regulations. 4. Projects on nonconforming properties requiring a building permit (excluding permits for roofs or minor repairs or improvements required by law) shall be required to bring the property into compliance as a "compatible property." A structure located on a nonconforming property shall not be enlarged or increased in any way from its lawful size at the time of the adoption of these special regulations. Where such changes are made, a building permit and compliance with the requirements of a "compatible property" are required for the enlargement or addition. (6) VARIANCES. (a) Variances from these special corridor regulations shall be processed pursuant to the procedures and timeframes of Section 70.001, Florida Statutes.
