·         provides for the documentation of non-conforming structures and uses
·         extends the timeframe to rebuild a nonconforming structure or reestablish a nonconforming use
·         provides an administrative setback variance program for rebuilding structures
·         provides a process for a property owner seeking to rebuild or reestablish business uses that have been operating without all required approvals and permits
