§ 20.22.010. Policy.  


Latest version.
  • Nonconforming situations may continue, so long as the conditions within this chapter and all other applicable sections of the code are met; however, the city encourages the eventual replacement of nonconforming uses which are potentially undesirable and incompatible with surrounding conforming uses and require compliance with the regulations of this Code, having due regard for the property rights of the persons affected, the public welfare, compatibility, and the character of the surrounding area. This chapter does not require the removal of or destruction of property in existence at the time when any zoning regulation first became effective and is actually and necessarily used in a public service business.
