(A) Any lawfully established building, structure, or use of a building or land, on the effective date of this chapter or of amendments thereto, that does not conform to the regulations for the district in which it is located, shall be deemed to be a legal nonconforming building, structure, or use and may be continued, except as otherwise provided herein.
(B) Any legal, nonconforming building or structure may be continued in use provided there is no physical change other than necessary maintenance and repair, except as otherwise permitted herein.
(C) Nonconforming status rests with the property, not with the owner. Such status is not affected by changes in ownership, tenancy, or management.
(D) Any building, for which a permit has been lawfully granted prior to the effective date of this chapter or of amendments thereto, may be completed in accordance with the approved plans; provided construction is started within 90 days and diligently prosecuted to completion. Such building shall thereafter be deemed a lawfully established building.
(E) Any development that has obtained preliminary and final approval at the time of adoption of this chapter and which is nonconforming solely as a result of the adoption of this chapter, may be developed as a legal nonconforming use, lot, or building per the zoning regulations in effect at the time of such preliminary and final approval.
