ARTICLE 8

NONCONFORMING USES

SECTION 801 REGULATIONS

The lawful use of any building or land existing at the effective date of this

Ordinance may be continued although such use does not conform with the

provisions of this Ordinance provided the following conditions are met.

SECTION 802 ALTERATIONS, EXTENSION AND RESTORATION

A nonconforming building, structure, or driveway may be altered,

improved, or reconstructed, but not enlarged or extended unless such

enlargement or extension meets with existing code.

Nothing in this Ordinance shall prevent the reconstruction, repairing,

rebuilding, and continued use of any nonconforming building or structure

damaged by fire, collapse, explosion, or Acts of God, subsequent to the

date of this Ordinance. Such uses may be rebuilt or restored provided the

area is not increased or extended.

SECTION 803 DISPLACEMENT

No nonconforming use shall displace a conforming use.

SECTION 804 DISCONTINUANCE OR ABANDONMENT

Whenever a nonconforming use has been discontinued for a period of two

years or more, such discontinuance shall be considered conclusive

evidence of an intention to legally abandon the nonconforming use. At

the end of the two-year period of abandonment the nonconforming use

shall not be re-established, and any further use shall be in conformity with

the provisions of this Ordinance.

SECTION 805 NONCONFORMING TO NONCONFORMING USE

A nonconforming use may not be changed to another nonconforming use

unless the Zoning Board, on application, determines that the proposed

use is less in conflict with the character and uses in the district than the

existing nonconforming use.

SECTION 806 NONCONFORMING LOTS OF RECORD

See Section 303(B).
