(1) No existing structure devoted to a non-conforming use shall be enlarged, extended, constructed or structurally altered, unless the use is changed to a permitted use;
(2) Any non-conforming use may be extended to any other part of a building designed for such use, but no such use may be extended in any way to occupy land outside the building;
(3) Any structure, or structure and land, in or on which a non-conforming use is superseded by a permitted use shall thereafter conform to the regulations of the district in which it is located, and the non-conforming use may not thereafter be resumed; or
(4) Whenever a non-conforming use of structure or a premise ceases for 90 days, the structure or premises shall not thereafter be used, except in conformance with the regulations of the district in which it is located, the term
CEASES, as used in this subchapter, shall mean that the activity in question has not been in operation for a period of 90 days.
(B) For the purpose of this subchapter, the lack of required off-street parking as applied to B-1 Central Business District shall not render structures as non-conforming.
