这是有关”a Legal Non-Conforming Right” 或是“grandfathering”的解释,希望你看得懂和明白:
A Legal Non-Conforming Right is
the right to continue a particular land use that is no longer permitted under the current zoning rules. In order to be eligible, the land use must have been established at a time when it was permitted under previous zoning regulations or at a time that would have predated any zoning by-law being in existence and has to have been in continuous use since that time.
The Ontario Planning Act governs how Zoning By-laws can be used for regulating the use and development of land. It also provides for what is known as legal non-conforming rights (also more generally known as “grandfathering”).
What this means is: if you have a use on your land that was legally established at a time it would have complied with the Zoning By-law or was established prior to any zoning by-law existing, and then a new Zoning By-law is passed which has the effect of no longer permitting the use on your property, then you could have non-conforming rights to continue the use on the property. If the use is eventually discontinued, or changes to another use, you would lose the non-conforming rights and will not be able to re-establish the use which is no longer permitted without an amendment to the Zoning By-law. It should also be noted that a temporary cessation in a use does not necessarily result in the loss of the non-conforming right.
