1105.03 CHANGE.

   Any lawful nonconforming use of a building or land may be changed to another nonconforming use of the same classification once as a matter of right, provided that before any such change may occur the party desiring the same shall obtain a use and occupancy permit pursuant to Section 1133.04. Subsequent changes of any lawful nonconforming use of a building or land to another nonconforming use of the same classification shall be permitted only upon the granting of a special exception by the Planning Commission in those instances where the Planning Commission shall find that granting the special exception shall not materially adversely affect the health or safety of persons residing or working in the neighborhood of the proposed use and shall not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to property or improvements in such neighborhood. Whenever a nonconforming use of a building or land has been changed to a conforming use, such conforming use shall not thereafter be changed to a nonconforming use. As used herein the term "classification" shall be

interpreted to include any use permissable within the appropriate zoning district (see Section 1101.03) and the term "change" shall not be interpreted to include any transfer of ownership.
