(A) If there is only a change in title or renewal of a lease of any nonconforming lot or structure access, the existing use may continue, subject to the rules herein.
(B) If any nonconforming use or structure is discontinued for a period exceeding two years after enactment of the ordinance set forth in this chapter, it shall be deemed abandoned and lose its lawful nonconforming status, and any subsequent use shall conform to the requirements of this chapter. However, if a building is damaged or destroyed by a natural disaster or other act of God, the conditions of which give rise to a federal disaster declaration covering the area in which the building is located, then a total of four years from the date of said declaration shall be allowed for the building to be repaired, rebuilt, or replaced before it loses its lawful nonconforming status.
(C) Whenever a nonconforming use or structure has been changed to a more limited nonconforming use, such more limited existing use may be changed to an even more limited use so long as it is allowed (by right or after special use permit approval) within that zoning district.
(D) Temporary seasonal uses may constitute lawful nonconforming uses so long as they were originally legal when this ordinance was adopted and so long as they have continued seasonally and never been abandoned for a period of two years or more. As with other lawful nonconforming uses, temporary seasonal uses may not be expanded or enlarged without losing their lawful nonconforming status.
(E) Whenever the boundaries of a zoning district are changed, any use of land or buildings which become nonconforming as a result of such change shall become subject to the provisions of this subchapter.
