The existing zoning ordinances of the town, including the official zoning maps adopted with those ordinances, are hereby amended in their entirety to conform to the provisions of this title; providing, that this title is a continuation of the existing ordinances, and not a new enactment, insofar as the substance of the old and new provisions are the same. This title shall not be construed as affecting the term of office of any board or commission member appointed under the prior enactment. Structures built prior to the adoption of the ordinance codified herein, or for which building permits were issued and on which work commences as required under the permit shall, to the extent they do not conform to this title, be considered as nonconforming uses, and shall not be affected hereby. Uses which were nonconforming under the old enactments shall not be affected by this title, unless the provision is changed in a manner that makes the use conforming to the new provision or zone. (Ord., 1-18-2005)
