The purpose of this subchapter is to provide for the eventual and equitable elimination of nonconforming lots, nonconforming uses of land and nonconforming structures which do not conform to the provisions of this chapter, but which were in operation prior to the enactment of the Zoning Ordinance. Nonconforming lots, uses and structures are declared to be incompatible with the permitted uses in the district involved. It is further the purpose of this chapter that nonconforming lots, uses and structures of land shall not be enlarged upon, extended nor be used as a basis for adding other structures or uses prohibited in the same district.
