Title 17C Land Use Standards
Chapter 17C.320 Conditional Uses
Section 17C.320.060 Conversion of Public and Semi-public Facilities
When the need for an existing public or semi-public building in any zone no longer exists, the building may be converted to those uses listed in the zone in which it is located. When the building is located in any R zone, it may be converted to any use allowed in the O zone if a conditional use permit is approved from the hearing examiner after public hearing. The hearing examiner must find the existing building suitable for the proposed use and that the proposed use is not unduly detrimental to the surrounding properties. To qualify for the conditional use permit hearing, the public or semi-public facility may not have more than twelve thousand square feet of total floor area in the building and must have been constructed to house the public or semi-public use and operated as such use for a minimum of five years.
