2021Appellants further argue that § 5.3.6 (c) creates ambiguity by stating that where a parking waiver “may be or [has] been legally granted, such a waiver shall not be considered to increase the degree of nonconformity.” In looking to the ordinance as a whole, CDO § 5.3.5 (a)(1) clarifies that a change to a nonconforming structure is only permitted if the change “may reduce the degree of nonconformity and shall not increase the nonconformity. . ..” See In re Trahan, 2008 VT 90, ¶ 20 ; In re Pierce, 2008 VT 100, ¶ 24 (noting that general and specific requirements contained in the bylaw generate su

2009As we explained in In re Jolley Assocs. , 2006 VT 132 , ¶ 12, an Environmental Court ruling that purports to be “without prejudice” represents “no more than an expression of the successive application doctrine and confers no greater right to reapply than is allowed by that doctrine.” The trial court here concluded that the evidence failed to support applicant’s request for a shared-use parking waiver.
