<br /> Chapter 2 Sector One Today <br /> Nonconfonning Uses <br /> Conflicts between the existing land use and the existing zoning on a parcel of land occur <br /> when the use of the land was lawfully occupied at the time when the zoning ordinance <br /> became effective. These uses of land are considered nonconfonning uses. A <br /> nonconfonning use may be continued as long as it remains otherwise lawful, subject to <br /> the following provisions: <br /> 1. No existing structure devoted to a nonconfonning use shall be enlarged, extended, <br /> constructed, reconstructed, moved or structurally altered. <br /> 2. The use of the structure shall only be changed to a use permitted in the district in <br /> which it is located. <br /> 3. A nonconfonning use that has been discontinued may be resumed only if there has <br /> been no other use of the premises or structure since the nonconfonning use was <br /> discontinued. <br /> 4. Any nonconfonning use may be extended throughout any parts of a building which <br /> were manifestly arranged or designed for that use at the effedctive date of the zoning <br /> ordinance, but no use shall be extended to occupy any land outside the building. <br /> 5. Removal or destruction of a structure containing a nonconfonning uses status. <br /> Destruction, for the purpose of the zoning ordinance, is derIDed as damage to an <br /> extent of more than 50% ofthe replacement cost at the time ofthe destruction. <br /> Historic Districts <br /> Sector One contains two residential historic districts: the Belvin Street Historic District, <br /> listed in the National Register of Places, and the San Antonio Street Historic District. <br /> The historic districts were established in 1974 ap.d 1982, respectively. <br /> 2-10 <br />
