(a) The purpose of this chapter is to recognize the existence of uses, buildings, lots and structures that lawfully existed at the time of this Zoning Code’s enactment, or amendment thereto, but which now do not conform with one or more of the regulations contained in this Code.
(b) Nonconforming use status is considered to be incompatible with permitted uses in the zoning district in which it exists. Therefore, nonconforming uses, buildings, lots, and structures are subject to regulations limiting their use, restoration, reconstruction, extension, and substitution. Such nonconforming status shall be continued only in conformance with this chapter.
(c) A nonconforming lot, use, building or structure does not include nonconformity with regulations pursuant to a legally granted variance from a zoning regulation.
