A nonconforming use is one which was legally established on the effective date of applicable sections of this title but which is not now an allowed or conditionally allowed use in the zone in which it is located. The intent of these regulations is to prevent the expansion of nonconforming uses, establish the circumstances under which they may be continued, and provide for their removal or change to a conforming use as soon as practical. (Ord. 1650 § 3 (Exh. B), 2018)
