(A) Any occupancy and use that legally exists at the time of approval of the Town Center District may continue as a nonconforming use. The existing occupancy and use may be transferred to a new owner and continued as the same purpose, providing the occupancy and use has not been voluntarily discontinued for more than 12 consecutive months.
(B) If application has been made for a change of occupancy or use from the nonconforming status which was granted at time of approval of this Town Center, the applicant must follow all regulations and conditions set forth in this Chapter 1283.
(C) Any one-, two-, or three-family residential facilities being converted to a commercial facility as defined by the Ohio Building Code must follow all requirements of the Ohio Building Code for “Change of Use”. Any residential facility with a nonconforming existing status would be terminated at time of “Change of Use” and may never be permitted to revert to its original status.
