(a) A legal nonconforming use shall not be modified in any manner that expands, extends, or enlarges the use beyond its existing scope upon the effective date of this zoning ordinance, except as specified below.
(1) The changes are, in and of themselves, in conformance with the provisions of this title.
(2) The changes are limited to minor alterations, improvements, or repairs that do not increase the degree of nonconformity present and do not constitute or tend to produce an expansion or intensification of a nonconforming use.
(3) The changes are required by other laws.
(4) The changes are incident to the public acquisition of a portion of a site, no greater degree of nonconformity will be created other than that caused as a result of the public acquisition, and the changed development will conform to current regulations to the maximum extent feasible.
(b) No change made to any development or use shall be construed as automatically permitting an extension of any time limit for the termination of a nonconformity.
