Union Beach City Zoning Code
§ 13-4.1
Continuance.
Except as otherwise provided in this chapter, the lawful use of land or a building existing at the date of the adoption of this chapter may be continued although such use or building does not conform to the regulations specified by this chapter for the zone in which such land or building is located; provided, however, that:
a.
No nonconforming lot shall be further reduced in size.
b.
No nonconforming building shall be enlarged, extended or increased unless such enlargement would tend to reduce the degree of nonconformance, provided, however, that any nonconforming residential and accessory buildings now existing can be enlarged, extended or increased in size as long as the enlargement does not violate front, side, rear yard, height and total lot coverage regulations for the zone in which the building(s) exist(s) and does not continue an existing violation of front, side or rear yard setback(s), or height limitation(s), further in the direction where the extension does not violate the setback regulation.
c.
No nonconforming use may be expanded.
