§ 23.06.020. Existing Uses.

Uses existing on the effective date of the Coastal Zone Land Use Ordinance, or on the date of a subsequent amendment to this Title that applies more restrictive operational standards to such uses, shall not be required to change their operations to comply with this chapter unless a modification of the use is proposed that requires a permit. However, in no case shall existing operations be changed to result in a greater degree of noncompliance with these standards than existed on the effective date of this Title or amendment. Nothing in this chapter shall preclude the initiation of revocation, abatement or legal action against an existing use operated in violation of Sections 23.06.040 - 23.06.060 or operated in such a manner as to create a public nuisance.

[Amended 1995, Ord. 2715]
