The enactment of this title shall not in any way affect the liability of any person for a violation of the zoning regulations enforced in the village prior to the enactment of these provisions, and no use shall be considered as a lawful nonconforming use under the provisions of this title unless such use was a lawful use at the time it was commenced under the provisions of whatever zoning provisions may have been in force at such time. The adoption of these provisions shall not be construed as abating any action now pending under or by virtue of the prior zoning provisions of the village, or as discontinuing, abating, modifying or altering any penalty accrued or to accrue, or any liability, for a violation of such prior zoning provisions. (Ord. 89-04, 4-3-1989)
