Stafford Township City Zoning Code

The lawful use of land, buildings or structures existing when this chapter was adopted may be continued on the lot or in the structure although it may not conform to this chapter, and any such structure may be restored or repaired in the event of partial destruction thereof; provided, however, that none shall be enlarged, extended, relocated, converted to another use or altered except in conformance with this chapter. Land on which a nonconforming use or structure is located, or a nonconforming lot, shall not be subdivided or resubdivided so as to be made more nonconforming in any manner.

The Mayor and Council of Stafford Township maintain the prohibition against new residential duplexes and permit the reconstruction of preexisting nonconforming duplexes and multifamily residential properties in residential zones that have been totally destroyed provided that they are not enlarged, extended, relocated or converted to any other use or altered except in conformance with this chapter.
