(a) Change of Use. The nonconforming use of a building, or any part thereof, may only be changed to a conforming use. If the use of a nonconforming building, or any part thereof, is changed to a conforming use, thereafter it shall not be changed back to the former or any other nonconforming use.
(b) Nonexpansion of Use. A nonconforming use of a building, or any part thereof, shall not be expanded or extended.
(c) Discontinuance of Use. If a nonconforming use within a building or portion thereof is discontinued for a continuous period of one year or changed to a conforming use, any future use of such building, or portion thereof, so discontinued or changed, shall be in conformity with the district regulations in which the building is located.
