nate, regulate, and restrict, in order to

Proceedings. If, prior to the effective
date of this Chapter, pursuant to the

EXPIRATION
9230. Revocation of Variances and
Conditional Use Permits. Upon recom-
mendation by the Director, the body
which originally granted the variance or
conditional use permit, shall conduct a
noticed public hearing to determine
whether a variance or conditional use per-
mit, should be revoked. If the revocation
relates to a Special Use Permit or Zone
Exception granted by the County, the
Commission shall conduct a hearing. If
the Commission or Council finds any one
of the following facts to be present, it
shall revoke the variance or conditional
use permit:
1. That the variance or permit was ob-
tained by fraud; or
2. That the use for which such approval
was granted has ceased to exist, or
has been suspended, for a period of
six (6) months or more; or
3. That the permit or variance granted
is being, or has been, exercised con-
trary to the terms and conditions of
such approval or in violation of any
law; or
4. That the use for which the approval
was granted is being exercised so as
to be detrimental to the public health
or safety, or as to, constitute a nui-
sance.

exercised within the time specified in the
resolution approving such variance or con-
ditional use permit, or if no time is so
specified, if the same is not exercised
within one year from the date said vari-
ance or permit is granted; provided that
the granting body, upon good cause shown
by the applicant, may extend the time
limitations imposed by this Section for a
period not to exceed one year.

posed upon the granting of a variance or
conditional use permit including special

be modified or eliminated, or new condi-
tions may be added, provided that the
granting body shall first conduct public
hearings thereon, in the same manner as
required for the granting of the same. No
such modification shall be made unless
the Commission or Council finds that such
modification is necessary to protect the
public interest, or, in case of deletion of
such a condition, that such action is nec-
essary to permit reasonable operation un-
der the variance or conditional use permit.
Modification proceedings relating to per-
mits or exceptions granted by the County
prior to incorporation of or annexation to
the City, shall be processed by the Com-
mission.

render the use, building or structure in
conformity with the provisions of this
Chapter; or
(2) Compliance with Laws. Such work
shall be permitted in order to comply
with any law enacted subsequent to the
adoption of the provisions of this Part,
other than zoning regulations; or
(3) Residential Units. Such work shall
be permitted as to any nonconforming
dwelling unit, which is nonconforming
solely by reason of a lack of off - street
parking facilities, provided that such
work does not increase the number of
dwelling units located on the lot and
provided further, that such construction
or reconstruction does not result in any
portion of a building or structure being
located on the only portion of the lot
physically available for required off - street
parking facilities, or access thereto, nor
occupy any required yard or open space
area.
(4) Nonconformity. Parking Facilities.
(a) Such work shall be permitted in
connection with any use, building
or structure which is nonconform-
ing solely by reason of an insuf-
ficient number of off - street park-
ing facilities, and such work would
not otherwise require, by reason
of such construction, additional
parking facilities.
(b) If the existing off - street parking
facilities are not sufficient to com-
ply with the requirements hereof
Temple City Municipal Code
Sections 9276 -9277
after such expansion, increase or
modification, additional parking
facilities shall be added. The ca-
pacity of said additional facilities •
shall equal the difference between
the off - street parking facilities
this Chapter would require for
such use as expanded, increased
or modified, and the off - street
parking facilities as required for
such use before said expansion,
increase or modification. Any ad-
ditional off - street parking facili-
ties required hereunder shall be
developed pursuant to the pro -
visions of this Chapter.
(5) Effect of Work. Accomplishment
of any work permitted pursuant to this
section shall not be construed to extend
the termination date of the non- conform-
ing use, building or structure to which the
same relates.
9276. Exemptions and Exceptions.
(1) Mixed Uses. Where a building or
buildings, and /or structures, located on a
lot or combination of lots forming a
single complex, are conforming, but all
or a portion of the usage thereof is non-
conforming, solely by reason of the fact
that such use is not a permitted use in
the zone, no new conforming use shall be
permited in such building, buildings or
structures unless the off - street parking
requirements of this Code are met as to
all such uses.
(b) Change of Use. A use which is
nonconforming only because it does not
meet the requirements of the standards
of development for that zone or the ap-
plicable off - street parking requirements
may be changed to a use permitted in
the zone. No such change of use shall
extend the termination date established
for the original nonconforming use.
(c) Buildings or Structures Under
Consideration. Any building or structure
for which a valid lawful building permit
has been issued, and is in force prior
to the operative date of any amendment
to the provisions of this Chapter which
has the effect of rendering said building
or structure nonconforming, may be com-
pleted and utilized provided that the
same is completed in accordance with
the plans and specifications upon which
such building permit was issued.
(d) Existing Variances and Condition-
al Use Permits. No use, building or strut-
ture shall be deemed to be nonconform-
ing for the purpose of this Part, where
the same was previously authorized by
a zone variance or conditional use per-
mit, so long as the usage thereunder
conforms with the terms and conditions
of the variance or permit as granted.
(e) Public Utilities Exempted. The
foregoing provision of this Part concern-
ing the required removal of nonconform-
ing buildings a n d uses, and t h e
reconstruction of nonconforming buildings
partially destroyed, shall not apply to
public utility buildings and structures
when such buildings and structures per-
tain directly to the rendering of the
service or distribution of a utility, such
as steam electric generating stations,
electric distribution and transmission
sub - stations, water wells and pumps, gas
storage, metering and valve control sta-
tions; nor shall any provision of this
Part be construed, or applied so as to
prevent the expansion, modernization or
replacement of such public utility build-
ings, structures, equipment and features,
as are used directly for the delivery of
or distribution of the service, provided
that this Section shall not exempt such
uses from the provisions of this Code
covering nonconformity of such buildings,
structures or uses, as to not immediately
relate to the direct service to consumers,
such as warehouses, storage yards and
the like.
(1) Public Acquisition. Whenever any
lot, any building or any structure is ren-
dered nonconforming within the meaning
of this Code by reason of a reduction in
a required yard area, lot area or reduc-
tion of off- street parking facilities, oc-
curing solely by reason of
(1) dedication to, or purchase by, the
City for any public purpose; or
(2) eminent domain proceedings, which
result in the acquisition by the
City of a portion of such property,
the same shall not be deemed non-
conforming within the meaning of
this part, provided that if the
buildings and /or structures located
upon such lot subsequent to such
acquisition, are wholly destroyed
no reconstruction shall take place
unless compliance is had with all
applicable provisions of this
Chapter.
9277, Exception. Conditional Use Per-
mits. Notwithstanding the provisions of
Temple City Municipal Code
Sections 9290 -9291
this Part, and Section 9202 hereof, none
of the uses set forth in said Section 9202
which were lawfully in existence as of
the effective date of these regulations,
shall be deemed non - conforming solely
by reason of the application of said
Section 9202 thereto, provided that as to
(1) Lawful Non - Conforming Uses:
(a) if the buildings or structures
utilized by any such use are, at
any t i m e, partially destroyed,
within the meaning of Section
9274 hereof; or
(b) if there is any enlargement or
expansion of such buildings, struc-
tures or uses, not otherwise per -
mited by Section 9275 hereof,
such uses will comply with Sec -
tion 9202 et seq. hereof, or such
uses shall be terminated
(2) Other Non - Conforming Uses:
Any of the uses enumerated in said
Section 9202 hereof, which were com-
menced after the effective date of said

tions contained herein, which did not,
or do not comply with the regulations set
forth in said Ordinance 63 -112, shall
comply with the regulations contained
herein, within ninety (90) days after the

DEDICATION OF MAPPED STREETS
9450. Purpose. As a result of studies
conducted by the City Council, Planning
Commission and City Staff, it is apparent
and so found, that certain streets within
the City are of insufficient width to,
properly accommodate the flow of ve-
hicular traffic generated thereon by the
use of properties abutting the same. It
is essential, to remedy such deficiencies,
that a requirement of dedication for pub-
lic street purposes be imposed upon the
use of property or issuance of building
permits thereon, as hereinafter required.
9451. Application. No person shall here-
after commence to use any vacant prop-
erty in zones R -3, R -4, C -2, C -M, M -1
and M -2, nor shall any building permit
be issued for the construction or recon-
struction of any building or structure, the
estimated cost of which is in excess of
$1,000.00, relating to any lot zoned R -3,
R -4, C -2, C -M, M -1, and M -2, if such lot
abuts upon any street declared in Section
9452 as being deficient in width, unless
the owner of such lot shall have made a
formal offer of dedication to the City, for
public street purposes, and all uses ap-
purtenant thereto, of an area along all
street frontage of such lots, which area
