In order to provide for a period of amortization, any building, structure or lot classified in a commercial or one-family residential zone used for the abandonment, storage, keeping, collecting or baling of paper, rags, scrap metals, other scrap or discarded materials, or for the abandonment, demolition, dismantling, storage or salvaging of automobiles or other vehicles not in running condition, and the associated sale of automobile parts and automobiles not in running condition, may be continued for a period of three (3) years from March 3, 1997. At the end of the three (3) year amortization period any nonconforming use of the property must cease within 30 days. Following termination of a nonconforming junkyard or automobile recycling facility, if redevelopment of the property with permitted or special exception uses is subject to local area review requirements under the Adequate Public Facilities Ordinance and its guidelines, the trip generation calculations for those uses will include a credit for the trip generation of the terminated nonconforming junkyard or automobile recycling facility.
