This Ordinance establishes separate districts, each of which is an appropriate area for the location of the uses which are permitted in that district. It is necessary and consistent with the establishment of those districts that those nonconforming buildings, structures, and uses which substantially and adversely affect the orderly development and taxable value of other property in the district not be permitted to continue without restriction.
The purpose of this chapter is to provide for the regulation of nonconforming buildings, structures, and uses and to specify those circumstances and conditions under which such nonconforming buildings, structures, and uses shall be permitted to continue.
