This Chapter establishes separate districts, each of which is an <br />appropriate area for the location of uses which are allowed in that district. It is necessary and <br />consistent with the establishment of these districts that non-conforming buildings, structures and <br />uses not be allowed to continue without restriction. Furthermore, it is the intent of this Section <br />that all non-conforming uses shall be eventually brought into conformity or terminated. <br /> <br />Subd. 2.
