The provisions of this chapter shall not operate to deprive any property owner of any constitutionally protected right. If a property owner claims that the application of this chapter to a specific project would deprive the property owner of a constitutionally protected right, then such property owner shall make application to the city and the city may allow additional land uses, but only to the extent necessary to avoid depriving the property owner of a proven constitutionally protected right. In any such application the burden shall be on the property owner to demonstrate that strict application of this chapter would cause the deprivation of a constitutionally protected right. Such additional land uses shall be consistent with and carry out the purposes of this chapter as set forth herein, and shall not be inconsistent with any other federal, state, or local laws, including, but not limited to, the city’s general plan. (Ord. 567 § 1. 2002 Code § 11-2.16).
