Any use of land legally established prior to the adoption of any Code provision with which such use does not comply, may be continued; but if such nonconforming use is discontinued for a period of twelve (12) consecutive months, any future use of said land shall be in conformity with the then current provisions of this Code.

(Ord. No. 3063, § 3, 11-18-99)

Any use of a building legally established prior to the adoption of any code provision with which such use does not comply, may be continued providing no structural alterations, except those required by law or ordinance or permitted under this Code, are made therein. If no structural alterations are made, a nonconforming use of a building may be changed to another nonconforming use of a building which is for the same or more restricted classification in the opinion of the Planning and Zoning Commission, as evidenced by a resolution of record. Whenever a nonconforming use of a building has been changed to a more restricted use or to a conforming use, such use shall not thereafter be changed to a less restricted use or nonconforming use.

(Ord. No. 3063, § 3, 11-18-99)

A nonconforming building shall not be enlarged, extended, or reconstructed unless such enlargement, extension, or reconstruction conforms in every respect with the regulations specified by this Code for such district in which said building is located.

(Ord. No. 3063, § 3, 11-18-99; Ord. No. 4931, § 2(Exh.), 8-13-20)

Nothing in this chapter shall be interpreted as authorization for or approval of the continuance of the use of a building or premises which was not in compliance with the regulations in effect at the time such building was constructed or use was commenced.

(Ord. No. 3063, § 3, 11-18-99)

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Zoning Code, an adult bookstore, an adult service business, or an adult video facility which is a nonconforming use or which does not conform to current development standards shall not be converted to another of the above-listed sexually oriented businesses.
