A. This chapter shall apply to the existing use of a structure or land lawfully established at the time of passage of the Zoning Ordinance or any amendments thereto which does not conform to the present regulations of the zone in which it is located. Because the Town is a community which has developed over a long period of time, the regulations of this chapter are to allow continued use of such property or structure, while at the same time protecting existing conforming development and furthering orderly development and improvement of the community.
B. Uses of non-conforming structures or land which are compatible with existing development, should be allowed to continue. Improvement for better integration into surroundings should be sought as much as possible.
C. Uses of non-conforming structures or land which create a nuisance, or detract from or are a hazard to the community or a neighborhood, should be eliminated or brought into compliance with the present provisions of this title. (Ord. 2019-13, 8-8-2019)
