Subtitle 2 - Designation and Adoption
Section 4-207 - Adaptive Reuse

(a)    On application by a property owner, a legislative body may authorize how the uses allowed in a zoning classification are to be applied to a particular improved property by granting an adaptive reuse.
    (b)    Before granting an adaptive reuse, the legislative body shall make specific findings, supported by facts in the record, that:
        (1)    the change is consistent with the plan for the local jurisdiction;
        (2)    the change is in the public interest and provides a positive benefit to the community; and
        (3)    literal enforcement of the zoning classification would deprive the owner of all reasonable economically viable use of the property.
