Any nonconforming structure or use lawfully existing at the
time of enactment of this chapter or any subsequent amendment may
be continued under the following conditions:
A.
A nonconforming use shall terminate upon abandonment at any time,
which shall be presumed when the actual conduct of a nonconforming
use is discontinued for a period of 12 consecutive months for any
reason or is resumed for less than one month within a year. The structure,
premises or structure and premises in combination, as the case may
be, shall not thereafter be used except in conformance with the regulations
of the district in which it is located.

A nonconforming use shall not be enlarged, extended, moved to a different
position on the lot or structurally altered in any way, except as
may be required for normal maintenance or to prevent damage or injury.
A preexisting nonconforming use in a structure may be changed to a
use permitted in the district in which it is located.
C.
A nonconforming structure shall not be enlarged or altered in a way
which increases its nonconformity and shall not be moved any distance
whatever unless it will thereafter conform to the regulations of the
district in which it is located.
D.
A nonconforming use or structure existing at the time of the passage
of an ordinance may be continued upon the lot or in the structure
so occupied, and any such structure may be restored or repaired in
the event of partial destruction thereof.
E.
Any structure, premises or structure and premises in combination
in or on which a nonconforming structure or use is superseded by a
permitted structure or use shall thereafter conform to the regulations
of the district in which it is located and the nonconforming structure
or use shall not thereafter be reinstituted.
