§ 17.610.005 PURPOSE.
   This Chapter establishes regulations for legal nonconforming land uses, structures, and parcels. These are land uses, structures, and parcels within the City that were lawfully established, constructed, or subdivided before the adoption or amendment of this Title, but which would be prohibited, regulated, or restricted differently under the current terms of this title or future amendments thereto.
   It is the intent of this Chapter to encourage the continuing improvement of the City, by limiting the extent to which nonconforming structures and uses may continue to be used, expanded, or replaced, while allowing for improvements in their appearance.
