Question

For the past 30 years, the Stone family has operated a neighborhood grocery store. Last week the city council passed a zoning ordinance that prohibits packaged food sales in the area where the Stone's grocery store is located. The store is now an example of a/an _______________.

a) illegal enterprise
b) nonconforming use
c) violation of the zoning laws
d) variance of the zoning laws

Answer 1

The correct answer is b) nonconforming use.

Step-by-step explanation:

A non-conforming product is any that does not comply with any defined specification and included in the management system, such as a product with a microbiological contamination, a food with an erroneous labeling, etc.

Non-conforming products will be treated as follows:

• Taking actions to eliminate the nonconformity detected. Authorizing its use, release or acceptance under concession by a relevant authority and, when applicable, by the client. Especially when we talk about “White mark”
• Taking actions to prevent its originally intended use or application.

Answer 2

b) nonconforming use

Step-by-step explanation:

Non-conforming use are permits that are given to people and land that was using the zone in a way prior to the new zoning laws and that now are violating the zoning laws but they had made arrangements in the past and had been working ever since, so they can get a non conforming use to continue to operate their grocery store after the change of zoning laws that now prohibits packaged food sales in the area.
