Key legal question
Whether a third apartment and an additional kitchen in a house outside the building zone could be authorized under revised or former planning law.
Extracted holding
No. The alterations required structural measures and went beyond permissible partial modification or protected existing use; the third dwelling could not be regularized.
Extracted reasoning
Art. 24a RPG did not apply because the changes were structural. Art. 24c RPG did not apply because the building was not a pre-existing lawful nonconforming building made nonconforming by a legal change. Art. 24d RPG was inapplicable because the rebuilt house was no longer a farm dwelling. Under former Art. 24(2) aRPG, the allowable scope of partial modification had already been exhausted by the approved two-unit reconstruction.
