(A) It is the intent of this subchapter to permit non-conformities which were lawful before the adoption of this code to continue, unless they are removed, but not to encourage their survival. It is further the intent of this subchapter that non-conformities shall not be enlarged upon, expanded or be used as grounds for adding other structures, or uses prohibited elsewhere in the same district.
(B) Non-conforming uses are declared by this subchapter to be incompatible with permitted uses in the district involved. However, to avoid undue hardship, nothing in this subchapter shall be deemed to require a change in the plans, construction or design use of any building on which actual construction was lawfully begun prior to the effective date of adoption of amendment to this title and which actual building construction has been carried on diligently.
