At the time of application for a zoning permit or request for variance, or upon the request of the Zoning Administrator regarding a non-conforming lot, building, structure, site condition, or use, the property owner shall submit sufficient evidence to verify that such lot, building, structure, site condition, or use was lawfully created or established in accordance with the zoning regulations in existence at that time. If the evidence submitted indicates the lot, building, structure, site condition, or use was legally established and has since become non-conforming because of the establishment of or amendment to this Zoning Code, the Zoning Administrator shall issue a certificate of non-conforming use. This certificate shall specify the reason why the use, building, structure, site condition, or lot is non-conforming, and for non-conforming uses shall also include a description of the extent and kind of use made of the property in question, the portion of the structure or land used for the non-conforming use, and the extent that dimensional or other requirements are non-conforming.
