Ginger From: Sam Miller <smiller@cityofmolalla.com> Sent: Tuesday, February 15, 2022 4:04 PM To: Ginger Harville <gharville@cityofmolalla.com> Subject: FW: 135 Grange Ave. Hi Ginger, Mac, Dan Z. and I discussed the history on this property and according to the piece of code below, the property owner can reestablish residential use in a commercial zone. See attached connection fee sheet, once paid we can issue their meter. I will reach out to the property owner and let the know what is required from them to reestablish service. Let me know if you have any question. Regards, Sam Miller | Sr. Engineer Tech.

Application of Code Criteria and Standards to Nonconforming Use. Once the City deems a use abandoned pursuant to subsection C, any subsequent use of the subject lot shall conform to the current standards and criteria of this Code. After the City has deemed a nonconforming use abandoned, the use shall not be allowed to resume, in whole or in part, under the same or different ownership or management; any such activity is a violation of this Code and subject to enforcement proceedings under Chapter 17-1.6. Residential uses in Commercial zones are exempt from this section. Mac and I both read the last line to mean that residential uses in commercial zones effectively cannot be abandoned so the use can be (re)-established.
