Nonconforming Lots, Structures and Uses
1. Structures under construction.
A structure for which a valid permit has been issued and/or is actually under construction to the extent of completion of footings may be completed as a nonconforming use. Structures not under actual construction at the time of passage of this chapter shall be built in conformity with its requirements.
2. Determination of permissible change or resumption of nonconforming use.
The Zoning Hearing Board, by special exception, shall allow a resumption or change of nonconforming use if it is of the same class of use or of a more restrictive nature than the existing nonconforming use.
3. Temporary nonconforming use.
A temporary nonconforming use, which will benefit the public health or welfare or promote proper development of a district in conformity with the intent of this chapter, may be permitted for a period of not more than one month, on the approval of the Zoning Hearing Board, but any such use to be permitted for a longer period shall require a public hearing thereon, after which a Zoning Hearing Board certificate may be issued for a period not exceeding one year in any case.
