§ 13.1. Purpose.

Latest version.

The purpose of this article is to provide for the continuation and within a suitable period of time, elimination of existing uses of property that do not conform to the requirements of this ordinance or that may not conform to future amendments. The provisions of this article are designed to accomplish this intent in a way that:
13.1-1 Minimizes the nuisance, reduction in neighboring property values, and other adverse effects of properties that do not conform to their environs.

13.1-2 Allows the property owner or lessee to recover all or a substantial part of his investment in the nonconformity, while also minimizing the time period during which, by virtue of the nonconformity, he enjoys a special right not available to other property owners in the same zoning district.
