(A) (1) Where the districts established by this chapter contain structures, lots, and uses of land and structures which were lawful, or non-conforming, before this zoning ordinance was passed or amended, but which are prohibited under this chapter, it is the intent of this chapter to permit these non-conformities to continue including through repair, replacement, restoration, maintenance, or improvement but not including expansion, unless:
(a) The non-conformity is discontinued for a period of more than one year; or
(b) Any non-conforming use is destroyed by fire or other peril to the extent of greater than 50% of its market value, and no permit has been applied for within 180 days of when the property is damaged.
(2) In this case, reasonable conditions may be imposed upon a zoning permit in order to mitigate any newly created impact on adjacent property.
(B) Any subsequent use or occupancy of the land or premises shall be a conforming use or occupancy.
