FORMING STRUCTURES, AND NON-CONFORMING USES OF STRUCTURES
• AND PREMISES.
1. Intent - Within the districts established by this ordinance,
or amendments that may later be adopted, there exist lots,
structures, uses of land and structures and characteristics
of use which were lawful before this ordinance was passed
or amended, but which would be prohibited, regulated, or res-
tricted under the terms of this ordinance or future amendments.
It is the intent of this ordinance to permit these non-
conformities to continue until they are removed, but not
to encourage their continuation. Such uses are declared
by this ordinance to be incompatible with permitted uses
in the districts involved. It is further the intent of
this ordinance that non-conformities shall not be enlarged
upon, expanded or extended, nor be used as grounds for
adding other structures or uses prohibited elsewhere in
the same district.
tiro
2. Extension and Enlargement - A non-conforming use of a
structure, a non-conforming use of land, or a non-conforming
rrs use of a structure and land shall not be extended or
enlarged after passage of this ordinance by attachment on

seen from off the premises, or by the addition of other
�,. uses of a nature which would be prohibited generally in
the district involved.

be deemed to require a change in the plans, construction, .

tion was lawfully begun prior to the effective date of

lbw actual building construction has been diligently carried
L on. Actual construction is hereby defined to include
the placing of construction materials in permanent posi-
tion and fastened in a permanent manner. Except that
L
where demolition or removal of an existing building
has been substantially begun preparatory to rebuilding,
imp such demolition or removal shall be deemed to be actual
r construction, provided that work shall be diligently
Ow carried on until completion of the building involved.
Non-Conforming Lots of Record - In anydistrict in which
3. No a
C
single family dwellings are permitted, notwithstanding
limitations imposed by other provisions of this ordinance,
a single family dwelling and customary accessory buildings
may be• erectedjd{on any single lot of record at the effective
Idate of adoption or amendment of this ordinance. Such
lot must be in separate ownership and not of continuous
Ifrontage with other lots in the same ownership. This
provision shall apply even though such lot fails to meet
itthe requirements for area or width, or both, that are
generally applicable in the district, provided that yard
Ldimensions and other requirements not involving area or
width, or both, of the lot shall conform to the regulations
L
-13-
tor the district in which such lot is located. Variance
of area, width or yard requirements shall be obtained only.
through action of the Board of Adjustment.

of lots with continuous frontage in single ownership are
of record at the time of passage or amendment of this
`., ordinance, and if all or part of the lots do not meet the
requirements for lot width and area as established by
it this ordinance, the lands involved shall be considered to
be an undivided parcel for the purposes of this ordinance,
itra and no portion of said parcel shall be used or sold which
does not meet lot width and area requirements established
`r. by this ordinance, nor shall any division of the parcel
be made which leaves remaining any lot with width or area
below the requirements in this ordinance.

according to the relationship between (a) required minimum
elevation of the lighting element or structural material
