Within the districts established by this Zoning Code, there exist lots, structures, uses of land and structures and characteristics of use which were lawful before this Zoning Code was passed or amended, but which are prohibited, regulated or restricted hereunder. It is the intent of this Zoning Code to permit these nonconformities to continue until they are removed, but not to encourage their survival. It is further the intent of this Zoning Code that nonconformities are not enlarged upon, expanded or extended, or used as grounds for adding other structures or uses prohibited elsewhere in the same district.
