The burden of demonstrating that nonconformity is lawful under this chapter rests with the property or business owner. The City may, at its discretion, request such records from a property or business owner as a basis for determining whether nonconformity was legally established and preexisting. Some examples of evidence that may indicate legal nonconforming status include: tax assessment records, construction or other permit records, personal or business income tax records, business license records, dated past advertising, dated business receipts to customers, dated rent receipts, affidavits from neighbors or tenants, testamentary documents, photographs whose date may be clearly ascertained, and other such information which is competent and factual. [Ord. 726 § 2 (Exh. B), 2019.]
