(A) Prohibition on change of use. A change in use of property where a non-conformity exists may not be made, except in accordance with this section.
(B) Change to permitted use. If the intended change in the non-conforming use is to a use that is a permitted use or a use subject to conditions in the zoning district in which the property is located, and all of the other requirements of this chapter applicable to that use can be complied with, permission to make the change must be obtained in the same manner as permission to make the initial use of a vacant lot. Once conformity with this chapter is achieved, the non-conformity status is terminated.
(C) Change to permitted use where all chapter requirements not satisfied. If the intended change in the non-conforming use is to a permitted use or conditionally permitted use in the district where the property is located, but all of the requirements of this chapter applicable to that use cannot reasonably be complied with, then the change is allowed only if the Commission issues a special use permit for alteration of the non-conformity authorizing the change pursuant to § 158.084 of this chapter.
