CHAPTER 1133
Nonconforming Uses, Approach to
1133.01    Nonconforming uses of land.
1133.02    Nonconforming structures.
1133.03    Nonconforming uses of structures and premises in combination.
   Within the districts established by this Zoning Ordinance or amendments that may later be adopted, there exist structures, uses of land and structures and characteristics of use which were lawful before this Ordinance was passed or amended, but which would be prohibited, regulated or restricted under the terms of this Ordinance or future amendments. It is the intent of this Ordinance to permit these nonconformities to continue until they are removed, but not to encourage their survival. It is further the intent of this Ordinance that nonconformities 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.
(a)   For identification purposes, a map indicating all nonconforming uses existing at the time of adoption of this Ordinance shall be located in the office of the Zoning Inspector. Such map shall be officially identified in the same manner as the Zoning Map.
   (b)   The Zoning Inspector is the designated authority responsible for enforcing and regulating nonconforming uses.
