The following regulations define the legal status of lots, uses of land, structures, and uses of structures and land in combination which do not conform to this Zoning Code but which existed or were in operation prior to the effective date of this Code, or amendments thereto. The legitimate interest of those who lawfully established these nonconformities are herein recognized by providing for their continuance, subject to regulations limiting their completion, restoration, reconstruction, extension, and substitution. Nevertheless, while it is the intent of this Code that such nonconformities be allowed to continue until removed, they should not be encouraged to survive. Accordingly, the completion, restoration, reconstruction, extension or substitution of nonconformities shall be subject to these regulations and shall be allowed upon review by Planning Commission and approval by Council for all uses, except single-family and two-family residential uses in residential districts, which shall be upon approval by the Board of Zoning and Building Appeals.
