Chapter 76. Zoning |
Article XIV. Nonconforming Lots, Uses and Structures |
76-568. Nonconforming uses of structures and land. |
If a lawful use of a structure, or of structure and land in
combination, exists at the effective date of adoption or amendment
of the ordinance from which this chapter is derived that would not
be allowed in the district under the terms of this chapter, such use
may be continued so long as it remains otherwise lawful, subject to
the following provisions:
(1)
No existing structure and/or use of land devoted to a class B use
not permitted by this chapter in the district in which it is located
shall be intensified, enlarged, extended, constructed, reconstructed,
moved or altered, except in changing the use of the structure and/or
land to a use permitted in the district in which it is located.
(2)
Any nonconforming class A use may be extended throughout any parts
of the building which were manifestly arranged or designed for such
use, and which existed at the time of adoption or amendment of the
ordinance from which this chapter is derived, but no such use shall
be extended to occupy any land outside such building.
(3)
Any structure, or structure and land in combination, in or on which
a nonconforming use is superseded, in whole or in part, by a permitted
use shall thereafter conform to all regulations for the district in
which such structure is located, and the nonconforming use may not
be resumed thereafter.
