What is exceptional use? Every city has a city building plan (TBA), and any use that deviates from this plan on the land, in buildings, or in real estate is called exceptional use. In 1995, the 43rd amendment to the Planning and Building Law was formulated, defining exceptional use in lands, buildings, or real estate for purposes not permitted in a certain area or according to the TBA plan.   Exceptional use requires approval

Exceptional use from the city building plan exists in one of two situations:

1. If the landowner requests a permit for land use for purposes that do not comply with the city building plan in the area. 2. When the city building plan (TBA) has changed, turning a legal structure into an illegal one; the local committee for planning and building can recommend that the owner of the structure be allowed to continue using the structure for the same needs for a defined period.

If you have land or property without a permit, you may be charged with a double offense, an offense of illegal construction and violation of building codes! Illegal violation! Exceptional use requires approval.   Do you need to change the permit you have? Talk to us today!
