§ 4.01 Intent

A. If within the districts established by this Ordinance there exist lots, structures, and use of land and structures that were lawful before this Ordinance was passed or amended, but which would be prohibited, regulated, or restricted under the terms of this Ordinance or amendments, it is the intent of this Ordinance to permit these non-conformities to continue until they are removed, but not to encourage their survival. Such uses are declared by this Ordinance to be incompatible with permitted uses in the districts involved.

B. This Ordinance intends that non-conformities must not be enlarged upon, expanded, or extended. Non-conforming uses may not serve as grounds for adding other structures, signs, or uses prohibited elsewhere in the same district.
