§ 260-15
Nonconforming by use
- A. Any use or activity lawfully existing at the time of adoption or amendment of this chapter but which is nonconforming by use shall be permitted to continue in the same manner until said use or activity is abandoned, relocated or changed. Abandoned uses shall not be reestablished.
- B. Abandonment of a nonconforming use shall consist of either an owner's (or legal tenant's, if applicable) overt act or failure to act which demonstrates that there is neither a claim nor any interest in continuing the nonconforming use. If any nonconforming use is discontinued for a period of one year, the nonconforming use will be presumed to have been abandoned unless determined otherwise by the Zoning Enforcement Officer.
- C. A nonconforming use in any zone shall not be enlarged, expanded, intensified or changed from one nonconforming use to another nonconforming use.
