1125.05 CERTIFICATE FOR NONCONFORMING USES.

   A Zoning Certificate shall be required for all lawful nonconforming uses of land or buildings created by the adoption of this Zoning Ordinance. Application for such Certificate for a nonconforming use shall be filed with the Administrative Officer by the owner or lessees of the building or land occupied by such nonconforming use within one year of the effective date of this Zoning Ordinance. It shall be the duty of the Administrative Officer to issue a Certificate for a lawful nonconforming use, but failure to apply for such Certificate for a nonconforming use or refusal of the Administrative Officer to issue a certificate for such nonconforming use shall be evidence that such nonconforming use was either illegal or did not lawfully exist at the effective date of this Zoning Ordinance. No charge shall be made for issuing a Zoning Certificate in accordance with this section.
