If a nonconforming use of land or structure ceases for any reason for a period of six months or more, any reuse of the land or structure must conform to all requirements of this chapter. If the status of the land use is contested, it is the obligation of the owner or lessee to provide to the Zoning Enforcement Officer documentation that a legal nonconforming use is being continued within 30 days of written notification of abandoned status.
