A zoning certificate shall be required for all lawful nonconforming uses of land or buildings created by the adoption of this Ordinance. Application for such a non-conforming use shall be filed with the Zoning and Code Enforcement Inspector by the owner or lessee of the building or land occupied by such nonconforming use within one (1) year of the effective date of this Ordinance. It shall be the duty of the Zoning and Code Enforcement Inspector to issue a certificate for a lawful nonconforming use, but failure to apply for such certificate for a nonconforming use shall be evidence that said nonconforming use was either illegal or did not lawfully exist at the effective date of this Ordinance.
