Notes

[Note]
   *Editor’s note-Division 59-G-4 [formerly §111-57(c)] is quoted in part and interpreted in Canada’s Tavern, Inc. v. Town of Glen Echo, 260 Md. 206, 271 A.2d 664 (1970).

A nonconforming use may be continued, subject to the following limits:
   59-G-4.11. Extension.
A nonconforming use of a building, structure or lot must not be extended in any way. However, a nonconforming use may be initiated or extended throughout those parts of a building or structure that were designed or arranged for the use if the building or structure was substantially completed before:
   (a)   June 1, 1958; or
   (b)   the effective date of the zoning text or map amendment that made it nonconforming.
   59-G-4.12. Structural alterations.
Except as otherwise provided in this Chapter, a nonconforming building or structure may be altered, renovated, or enlarged only if the construction will conform the building or structure to the requirements for the zone in effect when construction begins.
   59-G-4.13. Change of use.
A building in which a nonconforming use has been changed in whole or in part to a more restricted use must not be converted to a less restricted use.
