Box 46 Chambersburg, PA 17201 Re: Land Use Permit No. 2025-108 Dear Mr. Snyder: Ia am writing in response to the Land Use Permit Application you submitted to add a dwelling unit to the single-family detached dwelling addressed as 576 East King Street. The lot, which is located in a Low-Density Residential zoning district, accommodates a single-family detached dwelling and detached garage. In this district, a lot must have a minimum lot area of at least 12,000 square feet to accommodate a two-family dwelling, which the Zoning Code defines as a building designed for and intended to be occupied exclusively as a residence for two families living independently of each other. According to Franklin County tax parcel records, the lot at 576 East King Street appears to be 6,534 square feet in area. As such, an additional 5,466 square feet would be necessary to accommodate a two- family dwelling. Moreover, at least two off-street parking spaces would have to be provided per dwelling unit, requiring at least four off-street parking spaces for a two-family dwelling. I must deny your Land Use Permit (No. 2025-108) since the lot, known as Franklin County UPI No. 03-1C59-087-0000, does not meet the lot area requirements for a two-family dwelling. You have the right to file the enclosed Notice of Appeal with the Zoning Hearing Board within 30 days of the date ofthis letter ifyou would like to seek a variance for lot area and off-street parking or ifyou do not agree with my interpretation ofthe Zoning Code regulations. The Board typically meets the first Tuesday ofthe month at 5:00 p.m. in Borough Hall Council Chambers. Board procedures include a Public Hearing, a legal advertisement in the newspaper regarding the appeal and posting a Public Hearing Notice on the appellant property and neighboring properties within 300 feet. A $250 fee is collected to cover expenses related to this process. Please contact me at 717-251-2436 or pyolgemuti@chambersburgpa.goy ifyou need assistance with the Zoning Hearing Board appeal process.

It was sO nice to chat the other day! have given our conversation some thought and am looking for to a bit more advice on how to move forward. - would like to list my property on the commercial MLS SO the right person can find it. What I am told, however, is that because the commercial zoning was changed by the borough at some point, it is not eligible for that. My understanding from you is that it is not zoned for a dwelling either even though it is a separate address (481 S 2nd St). I'm guessing that is because it is the same parcel as the house and has always been that way. I'm realizing that I have a structure that cannot be a business and cannot be a home either without some paperwork being filed. I'm thinking the best thing for me to do is petition to get the commercial status back for the property and I was hoping you could give me some advice on how to proceed. remember you mentioned a board meeting a $250 fee. Thank you SO much for guiding me through this process! Hope you are staying warm up there. Best, -Shea Slemmer 912-224-9077 BOROUGH oF Phil Wolgemuth pwolgemuth@chamberaburgpa.gov, CIAMIEESIURG 473 S 2nd St (Snoke's Florist) Phil Wolgemuth pwolgemuth@chambersburgpa.gov, Tue, Feb 4, 2025 at 11:58 AM To: Shea Slemmer sheasemmer@gmaicom Cc: Jamie Foose foose@chambersburgpa.gov> Shea, The property addressed as 473 S. Second St. is located in a Moderate Density Residential zoning district. The dwelling addressed as 473 S. Second St. is a permitted use at this location. Snokes Florist, which formerly operated from this location, addressed as 481 S. Second St., was registered as a nonconforming use in the residential zoning district. PawataiwetomaaPASAENN Based on the real estate listing, and our recent telephone conversation, the building addressed as 481 S. Second St. was formerly used by Snokes Florist but most recently used as a dwelling. While a second dwelling may be permitted in the residential zoning district, the Borough has no record of a Land Use Permit being secured to establish a second dwelling unit at this location. The permitting process would allow Borough staff to review the Zoning Code regulations for lot area per dwelling unit, off-street parking, etc. as well as to determine whether a separate water and sewer connection, and associated Capital Charges, would be required. If a permit is issued by the Borough, you would then have to secure a Certificate of Use and Occupancy from PAI Municipal Code Alliance, the Borough's state-certified third party code enforcement agency. Also, a dwelling unit not occupied by the owner is defined by the Borough Rental Property Code as a residential rental unit, which must be inspected for compliance with the International Property Maintenance Code. A commercial use may be permitted to occupy the building addressed as 481 S. Second St., however, you would have to seek approval from the Zoning Hearing Board to change the nonconforming use from a florist to whatever commercial use you propose, as long iti is in compliance with the Code of the Borough of Chambersburg, Chapter 300, Zoning, Article XVI, Nonconforming Uses, Structures or Lots, Section 300-93, Changes: A nonconforming use of a structure or land may be changed to a nonconforming use of the same or a more-restricted classification when approved, after a special exception hearing, by the Board. Whenever a nonconforming use of a structure or land has been changed to a use of a more-restricted classification or to a conforming use, such use shall not thereafter be changed to a use of a less-restricted classification. Please be advised, if you choose to change the nonconforming use, the Board will require proof that the use was at no point abandoned according to the Code of the Borough of Chambersburg, Chapter 300, Zoning, Article XVI, Nonconforming Uses, Structures or Lots, Section 300-95, Abandonment: Ifa a nonconforming use of a structure or lot ceases for a continuous period of one year or more, the nonconforming use of the structure or the lot shall be presumed to have been abandoned, and subsequent use of such structure or land shall be in conformity with the provisions of this chapter of the Code. The Board meets the first Tuesday of the month at 5:00 p.m. in Council Chambers. Board procedures include a Public Hearing, a legal advertisement in The Public Opinion newspaper regarding the appeal and posting a Public Hearing Notice on the appellant property and neighboring properties within 300 feet. A $250 fee is collected to cover expenses related to this process. To be included on the Board meeting agenda the attached Notice of Appeal and fee must be submitted to Borough Hall at least two weeks prior to the first Tuesday of the month. Tuesday, 3/4/2025 is the next opportunity to present an Appeal to the Board with Tuesday, 2/18/2025 being the deadline for Appeal and fee submission to Borough Hall. Iti is important to note that if the Board approves a change of nonconforming use, the permitting process described above. would have to be followed for whatever use is approved to occupy the building addressed as 481 S. Second St. Please contact me if you have any questions or if you need assistance with the Zoning Hearing Board appeal process. Thank you.

Ihave reviewed it to the best of my ability and was wondering ify you could help with a few things whenever you have a moment. have spoken with my boyfriend and he mentioned that it would make a great office for him. He owns his own construction company and has been looking for a place just like this one where he could do paperwork and the like. I thought that would be a perfect solution to switching it back to commercial non-conforming use. I did read this paragraph though: "Please be advised, if you choose to change the nonconforming use, the Board will require proof that the use was at no point abandoned according to the Code of the Borough of Chambersburg, Chapter 300, Zoning, Article XVI, Nonconforming Uses, Structures or Lots, Section 300-95, Abandonment." This makes me think that because have never run a flower shop out of the structure it is considered abandoned and it will never be eligible for non-conforming use again. Is that correct? Thank you for your county help with this.

Second St. was last used by Snokes Florist, have witnessed the Zoning Hearing Board consider, and approve, change of nonconforming use for a nonconforming use that ceased for a continuous period of one year, or more, while the building that accommodated the nonconforming use was marketed for sale. It would be up to you to decide whether you want to pay $250 for the Zoning Hearing Board to conduct a special exception hearing, allowing you an opportunity to present evidence to address the Section 300-95 nonconforming use abandonment provisions and the Section 300-93 provisions to potentially change the nonconforming use from a florist to a professional office. Please contact me if you have any other questions or if you need assistance with the Zoning Hearing Board appeal process. Thank you.
