This chapter is intended to limit the number and extent of nonconforming uses and structures by prohibiting or limiting their enlargement, their reestablishment after abandonment and their restoration after substantial destruction. While permitting nonconforming uses, structures and improvements to continue, this chapter is intended to limit enlargement, alteration, restoration or replacement which would increase the discrepancy between existing conditions and the development standards prescribed by this title.
