The enactment of this Ordinance shall not affect or prevent the prosecution or punishment
of any person for any act done or committed in violation of an ordinance of Eaton
Rapids. It is the intent of this Ordinance to prohibit the expansion or continuance,
if abandoned, of uses or structures which were valid pre-existing nonconforming uses
or structures prior to the adoption of the prior Eaton Rapids Zoning Ordinance, approved
March 22, 1971, if such uses or structures are also prohibited by the provisions of
this Ordinance. Accordingly, said prior Zoning Ordinance, approved March 22, 1971,
is hereby preserved and not repealed as to such structures or uses which are prohibited
by the provisions of both this Ordinance and the same prior Zoning Ordinance.
Regulation modification or alteration of such pre-existing structures or uses in existence
prior to March 22, 1971, shall be governed by the provisions of this Ordinance, however,
in order to be classified as a valid pre-existing nonconforming use under the provisions
of this Ordinance, such use or structure must have been validly in existence and use
prior to March 22, 1971.
