1151.01 INTENT.
   The purpose of this Chapter is to regulate nonconforming uses, structures, and lots as per the following:
   (a)   The zoning districts and related standards established by this Zoning Code are designed to guide the future use of land in the Village by encouraging the development of desirable residential, business and industrial areas with appropriate groupings of compatible and related uses and thus to promote and protect the public health, safety and general welfare.
   (b)   The continued existence of certain nonconformities is frequently inconsistent with the Village's Comprehensive Plan and thus the gradual elimination of such nonconformities is often desirable. Other nonconformities may continue to exist and afford adaptive reuse opportunities that can contribute to neighborhood character, diversity and services.
   (c)   The regulations of this Chapter are intended to restrict further investments that would make nonconformities more permanent in their location in inappropriate districts as well as to afford opportunities for creative use and reuse of those other nonconformities that contribute to a neighborhood and are consistent with the goals of the Comprehensive Plan.
      (Ord. 2016-07-24. Passed 8-3-16.)
1151.02 LAWFUL NONCONFORMANCE.
   The provisions of this Chapter shall apply to any building, structure, land, or use that has become nonconforming as a result of the adoption of this Planning and Zoning Code as well as amendments made to this Planning and Zoning Code or the Official Zone Map.
   (a)   A nonconforming lot, use, building or structure does not include nonconformity with regulations pursuant to a legally granted variance from a zoning regulation.
   (b)   Ordinary repairs, repair or replacement of non-bearing walls, fixtures, wiring, or plumbing may be performed on a nonconforming structure or on any portion of a structure that contains a nonconforming use provided that the cubic content shall not be increased and no structural parts shall be replaced except when required by law to restore such building or structure to a safe condition or to make the building or structure conform to the regulations of the district in which it is located.
   (c)   A zoning certificate shall be required for any change to a nonconforming use/structure/lot beyond ordinary repairs noted in subsection 1151.02(b).
      (Ord. 2016-07-24. Passed 8-3-16.)
1151.03 BUILDINGS UNDER CONSTRUCTION.
   No change shall be required by this Zoning Code in the plans, construction or designated uses of a building or structure which does not conform to the regulations of this Zoning Code for the district in which its premises are located, provided a building permit was issued and construction on such building or structure was begun before the effective date of this Zoning Code or amendment thereto and completed within six (6) months thereof. For the purposes of this Zoning Code such construction shall be deemed an existing nonconforming use.
(Ord. 2016-07-24. Passed 8-3-16.)
