Simple English definitions for legal terms

conforming use

Read a random definition: child-care rules

A quick definition of conforming use:

Conforming use means using a property or building in a way that follows the rules set by the government for that area. For example, building a house in a residential area where only houses are allowed. Nonconforming use means using a property or building in a way that doesn't follow the rules set by the government, but is allowed because it was already being used that way before the rules were made. For example, having a store in a residential area where only houses are allowed because the store was already there before the rules were made.

A more thorough explanation:

A conforming use is the use of a structure or land that conforms to the permitted uses under the zoning classifications of a particular area. For example, building a single-family dwelling in a residential zone is a conforming use.

Example: If a property is zoned for commercial use, building a store or office building is a conforming use. However, building a residential home on the same property would be a nonconforming use.

This term is important in zoning laws and regulations, as it ensures that the use of a property is in line with the intended purpose of the area. It helps maintain the character and integrity of a neighborhood or community.
