A. Any use or activity conducted contrary to Pinal County zoning regulations at the effective date of annexation and not constituting a legal nonconforming use under the Pinal County zoning regulations shall not be considered a legal nonconforming use by the city.

B. Any use, activity or structure that is existing at the effective date of annexation, under a Pinal County use permit with a time limit imposed, may continue for the extent of the time limit. Any extension of this time limit requires zoning administrator approval. If a use permit would normally be required for the use in the zoning district where the use is located, the operator or owner shall request a use permit from the city within two years from the date of annexation. The type of permit required shall be determined according to the regulations for the city zoning district where the use is located.

C. Any lot or parcel of land legally subdivided and duly recorded in the Pinal County recorder’s office prior to the effective date of the annexation and having an area, width, depth, or street frontage less than that required in the zoning district regulations in which such lot or parcel is situated shall be deemed to be a lot and may be used as a building site; provided, that all other regulations for the zoning district shall apply.

D. Building setbacks established by Pinal County overlay zoning or a use permit for residential developments, including residential manufactured home parks and subdivisions, shall be enforced. Residential developments without county overlay zoning or a special use permit shall be subject to the setbacks as specified in this code. [Ord. 14-12 § 1; Res. 14-36 § 511.04.]
