§ 153.161 GENERAL SCOPE OF REGULATION.

   (A)   This subchapter establishes restrictions for the following categories of nonconformity:

      (1)   Nonconforming use of land or buildings;

      (2)   Nonconforming structures;

      (3)   Nonconforming lots;

      (4)   Nonconforming accessory uses;

      (5)   Nonconforming signs;

      (6)   Nonconforming residential alterations.

   (B)   The degree of restriction made applicable to each category of nonconformity is generally related to the degree of incompatibility with permitted uses and the amount of investment typically associated with nonconformities of that type. Pursuant to §§ 153.185 and 153.186, provision is made for relief from some of the restrictions of this subchapter, when practical difficulties or a particular hardship exists.
