Burbank Municipal Code Div. 1 General Provisions

Within the zones established by this chapter or amendments that may later be adopted there exist or will exist lots, structures, and uses of land and structures, which were lawful before the adoption or amendment of this chapter but which no longer comply. The intent of this article is to permit these nonconformities to continue until they are removed or required to be terminated, but not to encourage their survival. Such uses and structures are declared to be incompatible with permitted uses, structures and standards in the zones involved; and it is intended that they shall not be enlarged upon, expanded or extended, nor be used as grounds for adding other structures or uses prohibited elsewhere in the same zone, except as may be expressly permitted in this article. [Formerly numbered Section 31-195; Renumbered by Ord. No. 3058, eff. 2/21/87.]

In this absence of proof to the contrary, replacement cost as used in this article shall mean four (4) times the assessed value of the structure. [Formerly numbered Section 31-196; Renumbered by Ord. No. 3058, eff. 2/21/87.]
