(A) Whenever the zoning ordinance in effect at the time of adoption of this subchapter has authorized a use by issuing a variance or conditional use permit, such authorization may be continued in accord with the conditions which were established at the time the variance or conditional use was granted.
(B) When such use was authorized subject to a term of years, that use may be continued until the expiration of the term, and thereafter, the Board of Zoning Appeals may, in appropriate cases, extend the period of continuance for one or more terms of not more than five years each. The Board of Zoning Appeals may prescribe appropriate conditions and safeguards to minimize the effects of such use on the character of the neighborhood.
