(J)

Expansion of nonconforming use. Legally existing alcoholic beverage made nonconforming by reason of the regulations establishing distance restrictions between such uses, or any of them, or between any such uses and churches or schools, shall not be expanded unless and until such expansion shall have been approved by the appropriate Zoning Board for good and justifiable cause after a public hearing. "Expansion" as used herein, shall include the enlargement of space for such use and uses incidental thereto, the extension of a beer and wine bar to include intoxicating liquor, and the extension of a bar use to a night club use.

Nothing herein, however, shall be deemed an attempt to modify any prohibition or make less restrictive any requirement by the laws of the State of Florida.
