Which of the following describes 'Non-Conforming' properties?

Non-conforming properties are those that do not comply with the current zoning laws in place for the area, and this includes properties that were previously compliant but were rendered non-conforming due to changes in zoning regulations. These properties may have been built before the current zoning laws were enacted or may not meet the updated standards that have since been applied to the zoning classification.

In contrast, properties that comply with current zoning laws illustrate conformity rather than non-conformity. Properties with a conditional use permit may be allowed to deviate from certain zoning restrictions under specified conditions, showing a degree of compliance with the zoning framework, but they are not classified as non-conforming. Similarly, properties that have recently received a zone change align with new zoning requirements and therefore reflect conforming use rather than non-conforming status. Thus, the correct characterization of non-conforming properties aligns with their failure to align with current zoning regulations.
