To carry out the purposes, goals and objectives of the Wood Village Comprehensive Plan, it is necessary and desirable that all uses and structures in each planning district be permitted under certain regulations. It is the purpose of these specific regulations to control incompatible nonconforming uses and structures so that they will be discontinued or brought into conformity with the permitted uses or structures in each planning district.

Where at the time of adoption of these standards, a use of land or structure exists which would not be permitted by the regulations herein and was lawful at the time it was established, the use may be continued as long as it remains otherwise lawful and in compliance with applicable provisions of Section 640.
