7.1.1   Purpose and Intent
There are existing structures, uses of land, and lots of record that were lawfully established before the effective date of this Ordinance or a subsequent amendment thereto, that now do not conform to standards and requirements of this Ordinance. Such uses, structures, and lots are collectively referred to as "nonconformities." The purpose and intent of this chapter is to allow nonconformities to continue to exist, but to regulate and limit their continued existence and expansion so as to bring them into conformity to the extent that is reasonably practicable.
