1274.01 INTENT.
   Regulations for the continuance, maintenance, repair, restoration, 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 of nonconformity, but to control the same so as to minimize any adverse effect on adjoining properties and development;
   (b)    To regulate their maintenance and repair;
   (c)    To restrict their rebuilding if substantially destroyed;
   (d)    To require their permanent discontinuance if not operated for certain periods of time; and
   (e)    To require conformity if they are discontinued and to bring about eventual conformity in accordance with the objectives of the Comprehensive Plan and this Zoning Code.
