(A) This section is intended to gradually eliminate inappropriate nonconforming uses of buildings or structures designed or intended for uses allowed within the district in which they are located, but is not intended to eliminate any use not permitted in the district if such use is appropriate to the design or intent of such building or structure.
(1) In all residence districts any use of a building or structure, all or substantially all of which is designed or intended for a use permitted only in a residential district, but is being used for a use permitted only in a business or an industrial district, shall be terminated within six years of the effective date of this chapter.
(2) Discontinuance; land:
(a) The nonconforming use of land shall be discontinued and cease three years from the effective date of this chapter in each of the following cases:
1. Where no buildings or structures are employed in connection with such use.
2. When the only buildings or structures or other physical improvements are accessory or incidental to such use.
(b) A nonconforming use of land which is accessory to the nonconforming use of building or structure shall be discontinued on the same date the nonconforming use of the building or structure is discontinued.
(B) The provisions of this section shall not be applicable to any nonconforming use associated with any building or structure, a substantial portion of which is designed or intended for such a nonconforming use regardless of the district in which such building or structure is located.
