§ 153.390. Intent.

Latest version.

Within the districts established by this Zoning Code, or amendments thereto which may later be adopted, there exist lots, structures, uses of land and structures, and characteristics of use which were lawful before this Zoning Code was enacted or amended, but which would be prohibited, regulated, or restricted under the provisions of this Zoning Code or of future amendments. It is the intent of this Zoning Code to permit these nonconformities to continue until they are removed. It is further the intent of this Zoning Code that nonconformities shall not be encouraged to expand without restriction, nor be used as grounds for adding other structures or uses prohibited elsewhere in the same district.
