What is a legal nonconforming use?

The zoning district in which the property is located determines what uses are allowed on the parcel. A situation where the current use of that property or building(s) does not conform with the zoning but has been an on going use (without an interruption of 12 months or more) since before the zoning regulations took effect may qualify as a legal nonconforming use.
