A <br />"compatible property" shall be considered in compliance with the intent of the Roseland <br />Corridor special regulations.

Except as otherwise provided herein, there may be a change of tenancy or <br />ownership of a nonconforming property, without the loss of nonconforming <br />status, if use of the nonconforming structures is not abandoned for a period of <br />twelve (12) or more consecutive months. <br />3.

Where such changes are made, a building permit and <br />compliance with the requirements of a "compatible property" are required for <br />the enlargement or addition. <br />(7) VARIANCES. <br />(a) Variances from these special corridor regulations shall be processed pursuant to the <br />procedures and timeframes of Section 70.001, Florida Statutes.
