By the passage of this chapter [Ordinance No. 06-09], no presently illegal use shall be deemed to have been legalized unless specifically such use falls within a use district where the actual use is a conforming use. Otherwise, such uses shall remain nonconforming uses where recognized, or an illegal use, as the case may be. It is further the intent and declared purpose of this chapter that no offense committed, and no liability, penalty, or forfeiture, either civil or criminal, incurred prior to the time the existing zoning ordinance was repealed and this chapter adopted, shall be discharged or affected by such repeal; but prosecutions and suits for such offenses, liabilities, penalties, or forfeitures may be instituted or causes presently pending proceeded with in all respects as if such prior ordinance had not been repealed. Any pending civil litigation filed prior to the time the existing zoning ordinance was repealed and this chapter adopted that involves rights or duties in regard to the repealed ordinance shall proceed in all respects as if such prior ordinance had not been repealed and this chapter had not been adopted.
