1197.03 SUBSTITUTION OF NONCONFORMING USES.
   So long as no structural alterations are made, except as required by enforcement of other codes or ordinances, any non-conforming use may, upon appeal to and approval by the Board of Zoning Appeals, be changed to another non-conforming use if the Board finds that the use proposed for substitution is equally appropriate or more appropriate to the district than the existing non-conforming use. In permitting such change, the Board may require that additional conditions and safeguards be met, which requirements shall pertain as stipulated conditions to the approval of such change, and failure to meet such conditions shall be considered a punishable violation of this Zoning Ordinance. Whenever a non-conforming use has been changed to a less intensive use or becomes a conforming use, such use shall not thereafter be changed to a more intensive use.
