1282.09 DETERMINATION OF NONCONFORMING STATUS.
   At the time of application for a zoning permit or request for variance, or upon the request of the Zoning Enforcement Officer regarding a nonconforming lot, building, structure or use, the property owner shall submit sufficient evidence to verify that such lot, building, structure or use was lawfully created or established in accordance with the zoning regulations in existence at that time. If the evidence submitted indicates the lot, building, structure or use was legally established and has since become nonconforming because of the establishment of or amendment to this Planning and Zoning Code, the Zoning Enforcement Officer shall issue a certificate of nonconforming use. This certificate shall specify the reason why the use, building, structure or lot is nonconforming, and for nonconforming uses shall also include a description of the extent and kind of use made of the property in question, the portion of the structure or land used for the nonconforming use, and the extent that dimensional requirements are nonconforming.
