A nonconforming use may be continued so long as it is in compliance with all laws other than the use regulations in this Title 17, subject to the following provisions:
(A) It may not be enlarged, extended, moved or altered, except to change the use of a structure or land to a use permitted in the district in which it is located.
(B) It may be extended throughout any part of the structure which was originally approved for such use, but it may not be extended to occupy land outside such structure.
(C) In the case of a nonconforming use of land not involving a structure, the use may not be moved in whole or in part to any portion of the lot or parcel on which it is located other than that occupied by the use at the time it became nonconforming.
(D) If no structural alterations are made, a nonconforming use of a structure may be changed to another nonconforming use, provided that the Development Review Committee finds that the proposed use is equally appropriate or more appropriate to the district than the existing nonconforming use. In permitting such change, the Development Review Committee may impose conditions to ensure that the degree of nonconformity is not thereafter increased, along with such other conditions as are necessary to mitigate any adverse impacts of the changed use upon neighboring properties.
(E) If a nonconforming use of a structure or land is superseded by a permitted use, such use shall thereafter conform to the regulations for the district, and the nonconforming use may not be resumed.
(F) When a nonconforming use of a structure or land is discontinued or abandoned for a continuous period of 180 days or more, any subsequent use shall conform to the regulations of the district in which the property is located.
(G) Nonconforming uses in the HCD zone may be expanded as set forth in § 17.08.020(D).
