are as follows:
Upon the effective date of this Chapter, and any amendment thereto, pre-existing
structures or lots of record and existing and lawful uses of any building or land which
do not meet the minimum requirements of this Chapter for the district in which they are
located or which would be prohibited as new development in the district in which they
are located shall be considered as nonconforming. It is the intent of this Chapter to
permit these nonconforming uses to continue until they are removed, discontinued, or
destroyed, but not to encourage such continued use, and to prohibit the expansion of
any nonconformance.
21-9.1 Substandard Structures. Any structure existing at the time of the adoption of
this Chapter, which has dimensions which do not meet the requirements of this Chapter,
shall be subject to the following exceptions and modifications:
a. Enlargement of Nonconforming Structures. Any building which is nonconforming
solely because of its encroachment in a required yard area may be extended in any lawful
manner that does not further encroach in that yard. [Ord. #1989-9, 3/14/89].
21-9.2 Nonconforming Uses of Buildings. The nonconforming use of a building may be
extended throughout the building, provided no structural alterations, except those required
by law or ordinance or ordered by an authorized officer to secure the safety of the building
are made therein, but no such use shall be extended to occupy any land outside such building.
If the nonconformig use of such building is discontinued for a continuous period of more
than one [l] year, every future use of such premises shall be in conformity with the
provisions of this Chapter; provided that this provision shall not apply to any noncon
forming commercial or industrial use which normally operates less that ninety [90] calendar
• days in any given year [i.e. seasonal operation] shall not be continued after one [l]
season has passed without operation.
This provision shall not prevent the restoration of a nonconforming building, or
a building used for nonconforming use which has been destroyed to the extent of not more
than fifty [50%] percent of its replacement value, but only if such building is restored
within one [l] year firom the date of the destruction. [Ord. #1989-9, 3/14/89].
21-9.3 Nonconforming Uses of Land. The nonconforming use of land shall not be enlarged
or increased, nor shall any nonconforming use be extended to occupy a greater area of
land than that occupied by such at the time of the passage of this Chapter. If any non-
conforming use of land is discontinued for a continuous period exceeding one [l] year,
any future use of said land shall be in conformity with the provisions of this Chapter.
[Ord. #1989-9, 3/14/89].
