Fayette Non-Conforming Use of Buildings ordinance (§ 405.440)

Except as otherwise provided herein, the lawful use of a building existing at the effective date of this Article may be continued although such use does not conform to the provisions hereof. If no structural alterations are made, a non-conforming use of a building may be changed to another non-conforming use of the same or of a more restricted classification. Whenever a non-conforming use has been changed to a more restricted use or to a conforming use, such use shall not thereafter be changed to a less restricted use. The non-conforming use of a building may hereafter be extended throughout those parts of a building which were lawfully and manifestly arranged or designed for such use at the time of the enactment of this Article.
