Discontinuance of Nonconforming Uses of Land Where Buildings are not Involved The use of land upon which no building or structure exists in conjunction therewith which does not conform to the provisions of this Ordinance, and the use of land upon which no building or structure exists in conjunction therewith which becomes non-conforming by reason of a subsequent change in this Ordinance, shall be discontinued within three (3) months from the date of the change. D. Junk Yard Conformance with District Restrictions Any junk yards which do not conform to the provisions set forth in any of the district restrictions in which the junk yard is located shall within twelve (12) months of the effective date of this amendment, come into compliance with said restrictions or shall cease operation. 6.5 ZONING FOR FAMILY HOMES A Family Home shall be considered a residential use of property for the purposes of zoning and shall be treated as a permitted use in all residential zones or districts, including all single family residential zones or districts, of the County. No Conditional Use Permit, Special Use Permit, Special Exception, or Variance shall be required by the owner, or operator of any Family Home, as required by Chapter 358A of the Code of Iowa. A new Family Home shall not be located within one-fourth (1/4) of a mile from another family home. 6.6 PENDING APPLICATIONS FOR ZONING PERMITS Nothing contained herein shall require any change in the overall layout, plans, construction, size or designated use of any development, building, structure or part thereof for which official approvals and required permits have been granted before the enactment of any amendment to this Ordinance, the construction of which conforms with such plans shall have been started prior to the effective date of such amendment to this Ordinance and completion thereof carried on in a normal manner and not discontinued for reasons other than those beyond the builders' control. 6.7 STREET FRONTAGE REQUIRED Except as otherwise permitted in this Section, no lot shall contain any building used in whole or in part for residential purposes unless such lot abuts for at least twenty (20) feet on at least one (1) street. 6.8 DWELLING It is the intent of this provision to allow one dwelling structure, either single family or duplex, where permitted, per lot in the A-1 and A-2 Agriculture Districts, and the R-Single Family Residence Districts. However, in the R-4 Multi-Family Residence District and the Commercial Districts, more than one multifamily dwelling structure per lot would be permitted. 6.9 ACCESSORY STRUCTURES OR USES IN RESIDENCE DISTRICTS AND AGRICULTURAL DISTRICTS A. No accessory structure or use shall be established in any required court or in any required yard other than a rear yard except as provided hereinafter. Accessory structures or uses shall be located at least ten (10) feet from the principal building, and shall also be distance at least ten (10) feet from any other separate structure on the same lot, and at least three (3) feet from all rear lot lines. In residential districts, where it is desired to build a detached garage or other accessory structure to the side of a dwelling or less than ten (10) feet behind the rear line of the principal building, the 29
GENERAL REGULATIONS Art. 6 minimum front, side and rear yard requirements for a principal building in the Zoning District shall be observed in placing and erecting said accessory structure. No accessory structure shall be placed between the dwelling and the front lot line. In agricultural districts, accessory structures may be placed in any location on the property, including between the dwelling and front lot line, as long as the above separation distances are met and the minimum front and side yard requirements for a principal building in the Zoning District are observed. On Lake lots, a detached garage or other accessory structure may be built in the front yard as long as all setback and separation requirements are followed. Sleeping and bathroom accommodations are prohibited in detached accessory structures. B. No accessory structure or use or group of accessory structures or uses in any residential district shall cover more than twenty-five (25) percent of the required rear yards. C. Accessory structures, except those housing animals or fowl, maybe erected as part of the principal building or maybe connected thereto by a breezeway or similar structure provided all yard requirements for a principal building are complied with and the accessory structure or use for the purpose of determining yard requirements will be treated as an addition to the principal building. D. Animals may be kept in agricultural districts only, and as permitted in Article 7 and Article 8. E. In any residential district, the owner of the property may store up to a maximum of six (6) boat hoists/lifts in any required side or rear yard. 6.10 REQUIRED YARD CANNOT BE REDUCED No lot shall be reduced in area so as to make any yard or any other open space less than the minimum required by this Ordinance. No part of a yard or other open space provided about any building or structure for the purpose of complying with the provisions of this Ordinance shall be included as part of a yard or other open space required under this Ordinance for another building or structure. Off-street parking and loading areas may occupy all or any part of any required yard or open space except as otherwise specified in this ordinance. In districts where permitted, however, no permanent parking of vehicles, travel trailers, mobile homes, or implements (whether for sale or not), shall be permitted within one-half (1/2) of the required yard distance nearest the street or streets. 6.11 FRONT YARD SETBACK AVERAGE In any District there shall be a minimum front yard required as stated in the yard requirements for that particular district; provided, however, that where lots comprising thirty (30) percent or more of the frontage within 200 feet of either side lot line are developed with buildings at a greater or lesser setback, the front yard minimum requirement shall be the average of these building setbacks. In computing the average setback, buildings located on reverse corner lots or entirely on the rear half of lots, shall not be included in the computation. 6.12 OFF-STREET PARKING AND LOADING In Residence Districts one (1) commercial vehicle (pickup or panel type) may be parked on a lot, however, no commercial vehicle with dual rear wheels (four [4] or more wheels on the rear of the vehicle) may be parked on such lots. Such permitted use shall be for the purpose of transportation, not commercial purposes which are not permitted in Residential and Agricultural Districts. 30
