A. Continuation. A nonconforming use may continue to operate in perpetuity, be transferred, or be sold, provided that the use shall not be enlarged or intensified nor be expanded to occupy a greater area than it lawfully occupied before becoming nonconforming.
B. Approved Plans, Effective Date, and Extension. Plans for any use approved as of the effective date of this chapter may be carried out as approved. Any extension of such approval for which the applicant was entitled to apply as of the effective date may be granted according to the regulations in effect prior to the effective date; if granted, such extension will be considered the same as an approval granted before the effective date.
C. Prohibited Use. Any person asserting that a nonconforming use is legal must present evidence that the use existed before the enactment of the Zoning Code provision prohibited the use. The Community Development Director shall have Approval Authority over this determination. (Ord. 2010-02 § 1 (part), 2010)
