(a) Characteristics of use, such as off-street parking, off-street loading, and landscaping requirements, shall be interpreted to be synonymous with a part of the nonconforming classification of uses and structures legally permitted and existing on September 26, 1972, or on the date when the use was rendered nonconforming to the LDC.
(b) Nonconforming lots, structures, uses and characteristics of use in combination. If on the effective date of this code, a lot of record, structure, use or characteristics of use of land, in any combination thereof, exists that would not be permitted under the terms of this code, but was lawful at the time of its original existence, that use may be continued unless otherwise deemed abandoned or terminated or required to be eliminated or brought into conformance by other applicable provisions of this code.
