For a rural store and gas bar existing as a legal non-conforming use in a residential zone, what would NOT typically impact its continued use?

Undertaking major renovations
Maintaining the current usage with no changes
Closing the business temporarily for financial reasons
Converting the business into a new type of establishment
Demolishing and rebuilding the structure
Changing the operation significantly

The correct answer is: Maintaining the current usage with no changes

Maintaining the current usage with no changes would not typically impact the continued use of a rural store and gas bar existing as a legal non-conforming use in a residential zone. Since the current use is already legally non-conforming, maintaining it without alterations or enhancements would generally not jeopardize its ongoing operation. The other options could potentially impact its continued use in various ways. Undertaking major renovations, converting the business into a new type of establishment, demolishing and rebuilding the structure, and changing the operation significantly could all impact the legal non-conforming status of the business. These actions might trigger zoning regulations or by-laws that could affect the business's ability to continue operating in that location. Closing the business temporarily for financial reasons may also pose a risk, depending on local regulations. If a business ceases operations for an extended period, it may lose its legal non-conforming status or face challenges when trying to reopen.
