F. - Nonconforming uses of structures and land in combination.  


Latest version.
  • If a lawful use involving an individual structure exists at the effective date of this appendix, the use may be continued so long as it remains otherwise lawful, subject to the following provisions:

    (1)

    No otherwise lawful existing structure devoted to a use not permitted by this appendix in the district in which it is located shall be enlarged or altered so as to increase the nonconformity of the use. Said structure and its use may be moved to another location on the lot of record so long as the structure meets all applicable requirements of the district. Said structure and its use may be moved to a different lot, if the lot is located in a district which permits said structure and use and all other applicable requirements of this appendix are met;

    (2)

    Any nonconforming use may be extended throughout any parts of a building which were manifestly arranged or designed for such use at the time of adoption of this Ordinance, but no such use shall be extended to occupy any land outside such building;

    (3)

    If the structure housing a nonconforming use is destroyed to an extent of more than fifty (50) percent of its replacement cost, said structure may only be rebuilt in accordance with the requirements for the district in which it is located and shall only be occupied by a use permitted in that district;

    (4)

    If a nonconforming use is vacated or abandoned for a period of six (6) consecutive months, it shall only be replaced by a conforming use and the nonconforming use shall not be resumed.
