(A) Any sexually oriented business lawfully operating on the date of the enactment of the ordinance from which this chapter is derived that is in violation of this chapter shall be deemed a nonconforming use. The nonconforming use will be permitted to continue no later than one year from the date of the enactment of the ordinance from which this chapter is derived, unless sooner terminated for any reason or voluntarily discontinued for a period of 30 days or more. Such nonconforming uses shall not be increased, enlarged, extended or altered except that the use may be changed to a conforming use upon application and issuance of a license.
(B) A sexually oriented business lawfully operating as a conforming use is not rendered a nonconforming use by the establishment of a section 2.5-13(B) use, subsequent to the grant of the sexually oriented business license, within 1,000 feet of the sexually oriented business. This provision applies only to the renewal of a valid license, and does not apply when an application for a license is submitted after a license has expired, has not been continuously in effect, or has been revoked.
