B. No nonconforming use of a structure may be extended to any part of the structure not occupied by said use at the effective date hereof, and no such use shall be extended to occupy land outside of such structure.
C. No nonconforming use of a structure may be changed to any other nonconforming use.
D. When any nonconforming use is converted to a permitted use, the nonconforming use shall not be resumed.
E. When a nonconforming use is discontinued for three (3) consecutive months or for any twelve (12) months during any two (2) year period, the premises shall not thereafter be used except in conformance with the regulations in the district in which it is located.
