§4–207.
(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.
