The purpose of this chapter is to establish regulations governing legally established uses, structures, lots or parcels that do not conform to applicable requirements of this title. They may continue to exist and be put to productive use, but their nonconforming aspects shall be brought into conformance with the requirements of this title as provided in this chapter. The intent of this chapter is to recognize the interests of property owners while controlling expansion of nonconforming conditions. (Ord. 394, 8-7-2001)
