§ 117.15 NONCONFORMING USES.
   (A)   Any sexually oriented business lawfully operating on November 5, 2008, that is in violation of this chapter shall be deemed a nonconforming use. The nonconforming use will be permitted to continue for a period not to exceed 3 years, unless sooner terminated for any reason or voluntarily discontinued for a period of 30 days or more. Such nonconforming uses shall not be increased, enlarged, extended or altered except that the use may be changed to a conforming use upon application and issuance of a license.
   (B)   A sexually oriented business lawfully operating as a conforming use is not rendered a nonconforming use by the establishment of a § 117.14(B) use, subsequent to the grant of the sexually oriented business license, within 1,000 feet of the sexually oriented business. This provision applies only to the renewal of a valid license, and does not apply when an application for a license is submitted after a license has expired, has not been continuously in effect, or has been revoked.
