SECTION 23: That wherever, in this Ordinance, .land is
re -zoned or re-classified, the designated zoning classification

classifications by this Ordinance, as the same is attached
hereto.
SECTION 24: Any property which has not been placed in
a zoning district, or which has not otherwise been zoned, is
hereby classified in an R--1B district, it being the intent of
the Zoning Ordinance to regulate and control the use and de-
velopment of all land in the corporate limits of the City of
Tamarac.
SECTION 25: The City Council hereby declares its intent
to proceed with professional studies leading to the adoption
of and implementation of a comprehensive plan for the City,
including the adoption of a new zoning code and land -use
criteria. Therefore, nothing herein shall be construed to
confirm the propriety of the previous zoning of any property
re-classified herein, it being the purpose of such re-clas-
sification to merely place such lands in an appropriate
"holding" category pending completion of a comprehensive plan.
Notwithstanding any other language contained herein, the words
"re-classifying" or "re-classified" or other words of similar
import when used herein shall be construed to mean "re -zoning"
or "re -zoned" whenever the context so requires or admits, it
being the City's purpose in using such phrase to merely
distinguish those zonings which remain in the same general
category, although perhaps narrowing the uses permitted, from
those which totally change the nature of the zoning.

replacement cost of the building or structure, it shall
not be again used or reconstructed except in full con-
formity with the regulations of the district in which

use in a non -conforming structure may be replaced by a
new or different use permissable in the same zoning dis-
trict as the original non -conforming use or in a more
restricted zoning district, if the Board of Adjustment
after public hearing finds that the new or different use
will be less detrimental to the surrounding neighborhood
than the old use, and approves the new or different use
as being in accordance with the spirit and purpose of
this Ordinance.
5. Any change of a non -conforming use of land, ex-
cept as incidental to a change of a non -conforming use
of a non -conforming structure permitted and approved
under Paragraph 4 above shall be to a conforming use.

building ceases or is discontinued for a period of one
year or more, the building shall not thereafter be used
for a non -conforming use.

cupied by a non -conforming use, which use is abandoned,

SECTION 18.7 CONTINUANCE ON NON -CONFORMING USES
AND STRUCTURES
Any legal non -conforming use or structure may be
continued.
SECTION 18.8 UNLAWFUL USE NOT AUTHORIZED

in effect at the effective date of this Ordinance.
SECTION 18.9 DISTRICT OR REGULATION CHANGE
The foregoing provisions of this article shall also
apply to buildings, structures, land, premises or uses

fication or change of regulations.
