These regulations shall take effect on August 1, 1996. Whenever in these regulations phrases such as "the effective date of these regulations" are used, they shall be deemed to refer to the aforesaid effective date. The adoption hereof shall revoke any inconsistent provision of any prior zoning regulation, but shall not alter the continuity of any prior consistent provision, nor commence a new date for the determination of a legal nonconforming use, building or structure which was nonconforming to prior regulations and remains nonconforming to these regulations.
Should any section or provision of these regulations be declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, such decision shall not affect the validity of these regulations as a whole or any other part thereof; nor shall such decision affect Regulations adopted or adopted, as amended, subsequent to the onset of such legal action.
The Commission may from time to time, after public notice and hearing, amend, change or repeal these regulations or boundaries or districts as provided by the Connecticut General Statutes.
