   1181.01 INTENT.
   Regulations for the continuance, maintenance, repair, restoring, moving and discontinuance of nonconforming buildings, land and uses are established in order to achieve, among others, the following purposes:
   (a)    To permit the continuance but control of lawful nonconformity so as to minimize any adverse effect on the adjoining properties and development;
   (b)    To regulate their maintenance, repair and extension;
   (c)    To restrict their rebuilding if substantially destroyed;
   (d)    To require their permanent discontinuance if not operated for certain periods; and
   (e)    To require conformity if it is discontinued, to bring about eventual conformity in accordance with the objectives of the Master Plan of the City.
      (Ord. 72-72. Passed 8-31-72.)
   1181.02 ESTABLISHMENT OF REGULATIONS.
   Any lawful, nonconforming use existing at the time of the effective date of this chapter (Ordinance 72-72, passed August 31, 1972) may be continued, provided that the building or land or use thereof is not structurally changed, altered, enlarged or moved, unless such altered, enlarged or moved building or use conforms to the provisions of this Zoning Code for the district in which it is located.
   The enactment of this chapter shall not be deemed to affect, alter or change any variance heretofore granted by the appropriate administrative or legislative body of the City or by a court of competent jurisdiction upon review of the action of such administrative or legislative body.
(Ord. 72-72. Passed 8-31-72.)
