(A) Within the zoning districts established by this chapter or amendments that may later be adopted there exist lots, structures, uses of land, and/or structures, which were lawful before January 24, 1977 or before this chapter was amended, but which would not conform to regulations and restrictions under the terms of this chapter or future amendments thereto, and which could not be built or used under existing regulations.
(B) The purpose of nonconforming lot, structure, and use provisions are to allow such nonconformities to continue to exist subject to the regulations contained in this division while not increasing the nonconformity. It is not the policy of the county to pursue elimination of these nonconformities.
