Where, at the original effective date of this chapter or amendment thereto, or other prior zoning regulations of the city, wherein the lawful use of land existed prior to the adoption thereof and that under the provisions thereof, the use was no longer permissible under the terms thereof as enacted or amended, such use may be continued, so long as it remains otherwise lawful, subject to the following provisions.
(A) No non-conforming use of land shall be enlarged, increased or extended to occupy a greater area of land than was occupied on the effective date of the ordinance making the use non-conforming.
(B) No non-conforming use of land shall be moved in whole or in part to any other portion of the lot or parcel occupied by the use at the effective date of the ordinance making the use non-conforming.
(C) If any non-conforming use of land ceases for any reason for a period of more than 90 days, any subsequent use of the land shall conform to the regulations specified in this chapter for the district in which the land is located.
(D) A non-conforming use of land shall not be changed to another non-conforming use of land. When any non-conforming use of land has been changed to a conforming use of land, it shall not thereafter be changed to any non-conforming use.
(E) A non-conforming use of land may be changed to lessen the non-conformity of that use of land. Thereafter, the use of the land may not be altered so as to increase the non-conformity.
