It is the intent of this article to recognize that the eventual elimination, as expeditiously as is reasonable, of existing uses or structures that are not in conformance with the provisions of this chapter is as much a subject of health, safety, and welfare as is the prevention of the establishment of new uses or structures that would violate the provisions of this chapter. It is also the intent of this article that any elimination of nonconformities shall be effected so far as to avoid any unreasonable invasion of established private property rights.
(Ord. of 7-10-2000, § 12.1; Amend. of 8-3-2020)
