   (A)   Whenever any part of a building, structure or land occupied by a nonconforming use is changed to or replaced by a use conforming to the provisions of this chapter, such premises shall not thereafter be used or occupied by a nonconforming use, even though the building may have been originally designed and constructed for the prior nonconforming use.
   (B)   Whenever a nonconforming use of a building or structure or part thereof, has been discontinued for a period of 12 consecutive months (1 year), or whenever there is evident a clear intent on the part of the owner to abandon a nonconforming use, such use shall not after being discontinued or abandoned, be re-established, and the use of the premises thereafter shall be in conformity with the regulations of the district.
