nonconforming lot

Read a random definition: astrarius

A quick definition of nonconforming lot:

A nonconforming lot is a piece of land that was previously considered lawful but now violates a newly adopted or amended zoning ordinance. It means that the lot does not meet the current requirements set by the local zoning law. For example, if a new law requires a minimum lot size of 10,000 square feet, but a lot only has 8,000 square feet, it would be considered a nonconforming lot.

A more thorough explanation:

A nonconforming lot is a piece of land that was previously lawful but now violates a newly adopted or amended zoning ordinance. This means that the lot does not meet the current requirements for size, shape, or use set by the local government.

  • A property owner has a lot that was legally created before the city changed its zoning laws. The lot is now too small to meet the new minimum lot size requirement.
  • A homeowner wants to build an addition onto their house, but the lot is too narrow to meet the new setback requirements.

These examples illustrate how a nonconforming lot can limit a property owner's ability to use or develop their land. It can also create challenges for local governments in enforcing zoning laws and balancing the needs of property owners with the needs of the community.
