§ 47-3.1. Nonconforming use.

A.

Generally. As used in this section a nonconforming use is any use which is in compliance with the zoning regulations applicable to that use at the time the use was established and for which all required permits were issued, which use would be prohibited, restricted or would otherwise not conform to the ULDR.

B.

Continuation of a nonconforming use. A nonconforming use may continue subject to the following:

1.

A nonconforming use shall not be enlarged or extended nor shall the building it occupies be enlarged, extended or rebuilt such that the use would occupy a greater area of land than was occupied by the use on the effective date (June 28, 1997) or amendment of the ULDR which causes the use to become nonconforming, nor altered in any way so as to extend or enlarge the scope or area of its operation.

2.

Once a nonconforming use is changed to a permitted use, or terminated as provided in Sec. 47-3.8 in all or portion of a building or property, the nonconforming use which was permitted or terminated, as the case may be, shall not be resumed.
