The City of Utica described the zoning procedures in place if any use or structure became nonconforming within the Land Conservation District. Even if the structure conforms in its district, it will be considered a nonconforming use or structure in the Land Conservation District. Existing nonconforming uses and/or structures shall not be expanded. Substantial improvements of nonconforming uses shall not be allowed, irrespective of the need for the improvements. Nonconforming structures within the one-hundred-year flood plain will be required to obtain flood hazard insurance from the federal insurance administration. If the owners do not obtain this insurance, the City shall secure such insurance and place the annual insurance premium costs as a lien against the title to the land and/or structure.
