(a) The nonconforming use of a building may be changed to a use of the same or more restricted classifications but shall not thereafter be changed back to a less restrictive use.
(b) No such building shall be enlarged or expanded to increase the nonconforming use. No additional structures shall be constructed in connection with such nonconforming use, except as follows:

Such additions to nonconforming residential uses shall comply with the lot coverage and setback requirements of the zoning district in which the nonconforming residential use is located.
(c) A nonconforming use of the building, or portion thereof, which is discontinued for a period of two (2) years or more, shall not thereafter be occupied except by a use which conforms to the use regulations of the district in which it is located.
