(A) Within the districts established by this chapter, or amendment that may later be adopted, there exist lots, structures and uses of land and structures which were lawful before this chapter was adopted or amended, but which would be prohibited, regulated or restricted under the terms of this chapter or future amendment.
(B) (1) It is the intent of this chapter to permit these non-conformities to continue until they are removed, but not to encourage their survival.
(2) Such uses are declared by this chapter to be incompatible with permitted uses in the districts involved.
(3) It is further the intent of this chapter that non-conformities shall not be enlarged upon, expanded or extended, nor be used as grounds for adding other structures or uses prohibited elsewhere in the same district.
(C) A non-conforming use of a structure, a non-conforming use of land or a non-conforming use of a structure and land shall not be extended or enlarged after adoption of this chapter.
