Nonconforming structures and uses. <br /> (a) General provisions. <br /> (1) Purpose. It is the purpose of this section to regulate nonconforming <br /> structures and uses, and to specify those requirements, circumstances and <br /> conditions under which nonconforming structures and uses will be <br /> operated and maintained.

Any structure or use lawfully existing upon the effective <br /> date of this section shall not be, enlarged, expanded, extended, or altered <br /> in any manner which increases its nonconformity,but may be continued at <br /> the size and in the manner of operation existing upon such date except as <br /> hereinafter specified or, subsequently amended. Any land or buildings <br /> which were actually and legally devoted to a nonconforming use on <br /> January 1, 1975, and which were thereafter specifically allowed to <br /> continue said nonconforming use under the terms of a conditional use <br /> permit issued by the city council, shall be allowed to continue under the <br /> terms of said conditional use permit. <br /> (3) Safety repairs. Nothing in the Zoning Code shall prevent the placing of a <br /> structure in safe condition when said structure is declared unsafe by the <br /> building official. <br /> (b) Nonconforming uses. <br /> 155029v1 1 <br />
