§ 155.431 AUTHORITY TO CONTINUE.
   Except as otherwise provided in this subchapter, any non-conforming lot, use or structure lawfully existing on the effective date of this chapter or subsequent amendment thereto may be continued so long as it remains otherwise lawful. All non-conformities shall be encouraged to convert to conformity wherever possible and shall be required to convert to conformity status as required by this chapter. The burden of establishing that any non-conformity is a legal non-conformity, as defined by this subchapter, shall, in all cases, be upon the owner of the non-conformity and not upon the township.
