All others must apply for a Non-Conforming Use Certificate by Oct. 15 and receive approval by March 30, 2009.

After registering, the next step for the applicant is to drop off the registration form or certificate application along with other required documents at the Planning Department for review.
During its review of the plans and a site inspection, the Planning Department will determine whether the property is located in a VDA and is in conformance with the requirements.
Fines for violation of the ordinance range from $500 to $10,000 for each offense.
