John owns land at the edge of a small town. When he purchased the land it was not zoned and he operated an auto repair business there. Several years later, the town annexed John’s land as well as the surrounding land. The town then zoned all of the annexed land single-family residential. John’s business is the only business within the residential area. What right does John have to continue his auto repair business? Are there any restrictions on this right?
Fill in the blank(s) with the appropriate word(s).
John’s auto repair business would be a non-conforming use under the zoning ordinance. Typically, John would be allowed to continue the business. However, he would not be allowed to expand the use of the business or change the use to another nonpermitted use.
