If any nonconforming use is changed to or replaced by a conforming use or is moved for any distance for any reason, the land building theretofore devoted to such nonconforming use shall thereupon be subject to all the regulations as to use for the district in which such land and building are located, as if such nonconforming use had never existed.
The foregoing provisions shall apply to all nonconforming uses existing at the time of the adoption of this chapter and to all uses that become nonconforming by reason of any amendment thereof.
