In order to guide the development of compatible land use patterns in the town, nonconforming uses which adversely affect the development of such areas must be subject to certain limitations. The provisions of this subchapter are designed to provide a gradual remedy for existing undesirable conditions which result from incompatible nonconforming uses. While such uses are generally permitted to continue, then provisions are designed to discourage further investment in these uses.
