A more thorough explanation:

Present use refers to the current and ongoing application or employment of something, especially a possession that has been used for a long time for its intended purpose. It is different from temporary or occasional use. For example, if a building is being used as a dance club for a long time, it is considered a present use of the building.

Other types of uses include:

• Conditional use: A use of property subject to special controls and conditions. For instance, a conditional use may be suitable for a zoning district, but not necessarily for every location within that district.
• Nonconforming use: Land use that is not allowed under current zoning restrictions but is permitted because the use existed lawfully before the restrictions took effect.
• Public use: The public's beneficial right to use property or facilities subject to condemnation. For example, a public park is a public use of land.

Overall, present use refers to the current and ongoing application of something, especially a possession that has been used for a long time for its intended purpose.
