Once changed to a conforming use, no land shall
be permitted to revert to a nonconforming use. A nonconforming use
may be changed only to a conforming use.
Any structure containing a nonconforming use
which has been wholly or partially destroyed, by means other than
intent or design, beyond 50% of its true valuation may not be constructed
or repaired for the designated nonconforming use existing prior to
the event.
Mobile homes and trailers are restricted to mobile home parks pursuant to Chapter
148, Mobile Homes, of the Code of the Town of Binghamton; provided, however, that the Zoning Board of Appeals shall have the authority to grant temporary variances for occupancy of trailers as residences in areas other than those designated as mobile home parks where, on proper application by the owner of the property, it appears to the satisfaction of such Board that the desired occupancy is necessary by reason of substantial physical, financial or other hardship on behalf of the applicant or such other person for whom such variance may be sought. Where such variances are granted, the Zoning Board of Appeals shall impose specific conditions as to the duration and persons entitled to benefit therefrom which conditions shall include a stipulation as to the time when or event upon which such variance shall terminate.
