Checklist of Up -to -Date Pages
(This checklist will be updated with the
printing of each Supplement)
From our experience in publishing Looseleaf Supplements on a page -for -page
substitution basis, it has become evident that through usage and supplementation many
pages can be inserted and removed in error.
The following listing is included in this Code as a ready guide for the user to determine
whether the Code volume properly reflects the latest printing of each page.
In the first column all page numbers are listed in sequence. The second column reflects
the latest printing of the pages as they should appear in an up-to-date volume. The letters
"OC" indicate the pages have not been reprinted in the Supplement Service and appear as
published for the original Code. When a page has been reprinted or printed in the
Supplement Service, this column reflects the identification number or Supplement Number
printed on the bottom of the page.
In addition to assisting existing holders of the Code, this list may be used in compiling
an up-to-date copy from the original Code and subsequent Supplements.

the following words shall have the meaning
ascribed to them in this subsection:]

sessing a significant concentration, linkage, or
continuity of sites, buildings, structures, objects,
or areas, which are united historically or aestheti-
cally by plan or physical development. A district
may be comprised of individual resources which
are separated geographically but are linked by
association or history.
Object. A material thing of functional, aesthetic,
cultural, historical or scientific value that may
be, by nature of design, movable, yet related to a
specific setting or environment.

require a construction permit and that is done to
repair damage or to prevent deterioration or
decay of a building or structure or part thereof as
nearly as practicable to its condition prior to the
damage, deterioration, or decay.
Original appearance. That appearance (except
for color) which, to the satisfaction of the village
council, closely resembles the appearances of
either:
(1) The feature on the building as it was
originally built or was likely to have been
built, or
(2) The feature on the building as it pres-
ently exists so long as the present appear-
ance is appropriate, in the opinion of the
village council, to the style and materials
of the building.
C. Creation of local register of historic sites. A
local register of historic sites is hereby created as
a means of identifying and classifying various
sites, buildings, structures, objects and districts
as historic and/or architecturally significant. The
local register will be kept by the director of
community development.
D. Initiation of placement on local register.
Placement of sites, buildings, structures, objects
or districts on the local register may be initiated
by the village council. In addition, placement
may be initiated by the owner of the site, build-
ing, structure, object or area; or, in the case of a
district, by the owner of a site, building, structure,
object or area within the proposed district. By
adoption of this ordinance, those sites within the
Village of North Palm Beach that have been
classified as a "Florida historic site" by the
Division of Archives, History and Records Manage-
ment, Florida Department of State, are hereby
placed on the local register.

ARTICLE VII. NONCONFORMING USES
OF LAND AND STRUCTURES
Sec. 45-60. Intent.
(1) Within the districts established by this
ordinance, or amendments that may later be
adopted, there exist lots, structures, uses of land
and structures and characteristics of use which
were lawful before this ordinance was passed or
amended, but which would be prohibited, regu-
lated, or restricted under the terms of this ordi-
nance or future amendments.
(2) It is the intent of this ordinance to permit
these nonconformities to continue until they are
removed, but not to encourage their continuation.
Such uses are declared by this ordinance to be
incompatible with permitted uses in the district
involved. It is further the intent of this ordinance
that nonconformities shall not be enlarged upon,
expanded or extended, nor be used as grounds for
adding other structures or uses prohibited else-
where in the same district.
(Ord. No. 12-75, § 1, 9-11-75)
Sec. 45-61. Extension and enlargement.
(1) A nonconforming use of a structure, a non-
conforming use of land, or a nonconforming use of
structure and land shall not be extended or en -
APPENDIX C—ZONING § 45-63
larged after passage of this ordinance by attach-
ment on a building or premises of additional signs
intended to be seen from off the premises, or by
the addition of other uses of a nature which would
be prohibited generally in the district involved.
(2) To avoid undue hardship, nothing in this
ordinance shall be deemed to require a change in
the plans, construction, or designated use of any
building on which actual construction was law-
fully begun prior to the effective date of adoption
or amendment of this ordinance and upon which
actual building construction has been diligently
carried on. Actual construction is hereby defined
to include the placing of construction materials in
permanent position and fastened in a permanent
manner. Except that where demolition or removal
of an existing building has been substantially
begun preparatory to rebuilding, such demolition
or removal shall be deemed to be actual construc-
tion, provided that work shall be diligently car-
ried on until completion of the building involved.
(Ord. No. 12-75, § 1, 9-11-75)
Sec. 45-62. Nonconforming lots of record.
(1) In any district in which single-family dwell-
ings are permitted, notwithstanding limitations
imposed by other provisions of this ordinance, a
single-family dwelling and customary accessory
buildings may be erected on any single lot of
record at the effective date of adoption or amend-
ment of this ordinance. Such lot must be in
separate ownership and not of continuous front-
age with other lots in the same ownership. This
provision shall apply even though such lot fails to
meet the requirements for area or width, or both,
that are generally applicable in the district, pro-
vided that yard dimensions and other require-
ments not involving area or width, or both, of the
lot shall conform to the regulations for the district
in which such lot is located. Variance of area,
width, or yard requirements shall be obtained
only through action of the board of adjustment.
(2) If two (2) or more lots or combinations of
lots and portions of lots with continuous frontage
in angle [single] ownership are of record at the
time of passage or amendment of this ordinance,
and if all or part of the lots do not meet the
requirements for lot width and area as estab-
Supp. No. 62
2531
lished by this ordinance, the lands involved shall
be considered to be an undivided parcel for the
purposes of this ordinance, and no portion of said
parcel shall be used or sold which does not meet
lot width and area requirements established by
this ordinance, nor shall any division of the parcel
be made which leaves remaining any lot with
width or area below the requirements in this
ordinance.
(Ord. No. 12-75, § 1, 9-11-75)
Sec. 45.63. Nonconforming uses of land.
Where, at the effective date of adoption or
amendment of this ordinance, lawful use of land
exists that is made no longer permissible under
the terms of this ordinance as enacted or amended,
and where such use involves no individual struc-
ture with a replacement cost exceeding one thou-
sand dollars ($1,000.00), such use may be contin-
ued, so long as it remains otherwise lawful, subject
to the following provisions:
(1) No such nonconforming use shall be en-
larged or increased, nor extended to oc-
cupy a greater area of land than was
occupied at the effective date of adoption
or amendment of this ordinance; unless
such use is changed to a use permitted in
the district in which such use is located;
(2) No such nonconforming use shall be moved
in whole or in part to any other portion of
the lot or parcel occupied by such use at
the effective date of adoption or amend-
ment of this ordinance;
(3) If any such nonconforming use of land
ceases for any reason for a period of more
than ninety (90) consecutive days, any
subsequent use of such land shall conform
to the regulations specified by this ordi-
nance for the district in which such land
is located;
(4) No additional structure which does not
conform to the requirements of this ordi-
nance shall be erected in connection with
such nonconforming use of land.
(Ord. No. 12-75, § 1, 9-11-75)
§ 45-64
NORTH PALM BEACH CODE
Sec. 45-64. Nonconforming structures.
Where a lawful structure exists at the effective
date of adoption or amendment of this ordinance
that could not be built under the terms of this
ordinance by reason of restrictions on area, lot
coverage, height, yards or other characteristics of
the structure or its location on the lot, such
structure may be continued so long as it remains
otherwise lawful subject to the following provi-
sions:
(1) No such structure may be enlarged or
altered in a way which increases its non-
conformity, but any structure or portion
thereof may be altered to decrease its
nonconformity;
(2) Should such structure be destroyed by
any means to an extent of more than fifty
(50) percent of its replacement cost at
time of destruction, as determined by the
village engineer or village building offi-
cial, it shall not be reconstructed except in
conformity with the provisions of this
ordinance;
(3) Should such structure be moved for any
reason for any distance whatever, it shall
thereafter conform to the regulations of
the district in which it is located after it is
moved.
(Ord. No. 12-75, § 1, 9-11-75)
Sec. 45-65. Nonconforming uses of struc-
tures or of structures and prem-
ises in combination.
(1) If a lawful use involving individual struc-
tures with a replacement cost of one thousand
dollars ($1,000.00) or more, or of structure and
premises in combination, exists at the effective
date of adoption or amendment of this ordinance,
that wodld not be allowed in the district under the
terms of this ordinance, the lawful use may be
continued so long as it remains otherwise lawful,
subject to the following provisions:
(a) No existing structure devoted to a use not
permitted by this ordinance. in the district
in which it is located shall be enlarged,
extended, constructed, reconstructed,
moved or structurally altered except in
Supp. No. 62 2532
changing the use of the structure to a use
permitted in the district in which it is
located;
(b) Any nonconforming use may be extended
throughout any parts of a building which
were manifestly arranged or designed for
such use at the time of adoption or amend-
ment of this ordinance, but no such use
shall be extended to occupy any land
outside such building;
(c) Any structure, or structure and land in
combination, in or on which a nonconform-
ing use is superseded by a permitted use,
shall thereafter conform to the regula-
tions for the district in which such struc-
ture is located, and the nonconforming
use may not thereafter be resumed;
(d) When a nonconforming use of a structure,
or structure and premises in combination,
is discontinued or abandoned for six (6)
consecutive months or for eighteen (18)
months during any three-year period (ex-
cept when government action impedes
access to the premises), the structure, or
structure and premises in combination,
shall not thereafter be used except in
conformance with the regulations of the
district in which it is located;
(e) Where nonconforming use status applies
to a structure and premises in combina-
tion, removal or destruction of the struc-
ture shall eliminate the nonconforming
status of the land. Destruction for the
purpose of this subsection is defined as
damage to an extent of more than fifty
(50) percent of the replacement cost at
time of destruction.
(2) Nonconformities not involving the use of a
principal structure, e.g., open storage, building
supplies, vehicle, mobile home, implement and
machinery storage, signs, billboards, junkyards,
commercial animal yards and the like, shall be
discontinued within two (2) years of the effective
date of this ordinance or amendment.
(Ord. No. 12-75, § 1, 9-11-75)
APPENDIX C—ZONING
Sec. 45-66. Repairs and maintenance.
(1) On any building devoted in whole or in part
to any nonconforming use, work may be done in
any period of twelve (12) consecutive months on
ordinary repairs, or on repair or replacement of
nonbearing walls, fixtures, wiring or plumbing, to
an extent not exceeding ten (10) percent of the
current replacement value of the building, pro-
vided that the cubic content of the building as it
existed at the time of passage or amendment of
this ordinance shall not be increased.
(2) Nothing in this ordinance shall be deemed
to prevent the strengthening or restoring to a safe
condition of any building or part thereof declared
to be unsafe by any official charged with protect-
ing the public safety, upon order of such official.
(Ord. No. 12-75, § 1, 9-11-75)
Sec. 45-67. Temporary uses.

this ordinance unless it complies with the terms
of this ordinance.
