In the case of property previously classified, other than pursuant to a countywide general map amendment, but not used for a purpose permitted, either as a principal or special use, in the district in which it was classified within one year from the date of its classification, or, if the use of said property has been discontinued for a continuous period of three (3) years, the board of appeals has the power to institute proceedings on its own motion to consider the reclassification of the property to another district.
