(1) No such nonconforming use shall be enlarged or increased, nor extended to occupy a greater area of land than was occupied on September 26, 1972, or on the effective date of an amendment to the Land Development Code making said use nonconforming; unless such use is changed to a use permitted in the district in which such use is located;
(2) No such nonconforming use shall be moved in whole or in part to any other portion of the lot or parcel occupied by such use on September 26, 1972, or on the effective date of an amendment to the Land Development Code making said use nonconforming;
(3) If any such nonconforming use of land ceases for any reason for a period of more than 180 consecutive days, any subsequent use of such land shall conform to the regulations specified by the Land Development Code for the district in which such land is located; and
(4) No additional structure shall be erected in connection with or in support of such nonconforming use of land.
