What is a nonconforming use related to zoning?

A new proposal that aligns with current zoning laws
A use or structure that predates the zoning and is out of character with its surroundings
A use that is fully compliant with the zoning ordinance
A temporary structure allowed under special circumstances

The correct answer is: A use or structure that predates the zoning and is out of character with its surroundings

A nonconforming use refers to a use or structure that was established before the current zoning laws were put in place. This means that it does not comply with the current zoning regulations and is considered to be "out of character" with its surroundings. Options A, C, and D all describe uses or structures that are compliant with zoning laws, either through complying with current laws (A and C) or being allowed under special circumstances (D). These options are therefore incorrect in the context of a nonconforming use, which goes against current zoning laws.
