Registration of Nonconforming Use
Description: There may be now or in the future certain uses of land that are not in compliance with this zoning code, but which were legally established. These uses are referred to as “nonconforming uses,” and consistent with the provisions of Article 12 are allowed to continue to operate. For this reason, it is necessary to document those uses that are considered nonconforming. Registration of a use as a nonconforming use provides documentary evidence establishing (1) when the use was first established; (2) that the use at the time of establishment was done consistent with the rules and regulations in effect at the time, if any; (3) that it has continued continuously, without cessation of more than 12 continuous months; and (4) the nature of the use.

Decision maker(s): Plan Commission makes a recommendation and the Town Board makes the final decision

Basis of decision: In making its decision, the Town Board must determine whether there is sufficient evidence to show that (1) the use in question was legally established; (2) such use does not now comply with one or more of the requirements of the zoning code; and (3) such use has continued from the date, or approximate date, of establishment to the current date without an interruption of more than 12 continuous months.

About Reviewers
The following are involved in the review of this type of application.

The Town Board is the governing body of the Town of Eagle and is responsible for making decisions on local policies, budgets, and ordinances. The board also reviews certain types of development projects. The board consists of 5 members who are elected to two-year, overlapping terms.

The Plan Commission is a 7-member body established by the Town Board to review certain development projects and act on other matters. Depending on the type of the development proposal, the commission may be advisory to the Town Board or have the authority to make the final decision. Three members also serve on the Town Board; the remaining members are town residents.

Planning staff provides technical support to the Town Board, Plan Commission, Zoning Board of Appeals, developers, neighbors, and other interested parties to facilitate the development review process.
