Nonconforming uses. Except as provided hereinafter, the nonconforming
use of buildings or land lawfully existing on July 11, 1990 (the day
immediately preceding the effective date of the Town predecessor to
this chapter), or the nonconforming use of buildings or land lawfully
existing on the day immediately preceding the effective date of any
amendment to this chapter affecting such use, regardless of change
of title, possession or occupancy or right thereof, may be continued
indefinitely, except that such use:
(1)
Shall not be enlarged, altered, extended, or restored, or placed on a different portion of the lot or parcel of land occupied by such use, nor shall any external evidence of such use be increased by any means whatsoever, except as provided in Subsection
C herein.
(2)
Shall not be moved to another location where such use would
be nonconforming.
(3)
Shall not be changed to another nonconforming use without approval
by the Board of Appeals, and then only to a use which, in the opinion
of said Board, is of the same or of a more-restrictive nature.
(4)
If changed to a more-restrictive nonconforming use, shall not
be changed back to a less-conforming use.
(5)
Shall not be reestablished or changed to another nonconforming
use if such use has been discontinued for any reason for a period
of one year. Intent to resume a nonconforming use shall not confer
the right to do so.
(6)
Shall not be reestablished if such use has been changed to or
replaced by a conforming use.
(7)
Shall not be repaired or rebuilt if the nonconforming use is
damaged by fire or other causes to the extent of 50% or more of its
fair market value as determined by the Assessor unless the use is
changed to a conforming use.
