10-5-2: DISCONTINUANCE OF USE:
   A.   Whenever any part of a building, structure or land occupied by a nonconforming use is changed to or replaced by a conforming use, 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 twelve (12) consecutive months, 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 reestablished, and the use of the premises thereafter shall be in conformity with the regulations of the district.
   C.   Where no enclosed building is involved, discontinuance of a nonconforming use for a period of six (6) months shall constitute abandonment, and shall not thereafter be used in a nonconforming manner. (Ord. B-39, 1969)
