Within the districts established by this Zoning Code, as amended, there exist lots, uses of land, structures and uses of structures and land in combination which were lawful before this Zoning Code was passed or amended, but which would be prohibited, regulated or restricted under this Zoning Code, as amended. This chapter is intended to permit these nonconformities to continue until they are removed, but is not intended to encourage their survival except as otherwise provided herein. It is further the intent of this chapter that nonconformities shall not be enlarged upon, expanded or extended, nor be used as grounds for adding other structures or uses prohibited elsewhere in the same district, except as otherwise provided herein.
