(A) The lawful uses of land, existing at the time of the adoption of this chapter, although such use does not conform to the provisions hereof, may be continued, but if such non-conforming use is discontinued for a period of six months, any future use of said premises shall be in conformity with the provisions of this chapter. A landowner may seek to extend this six-month time period where an undue hardship exists through an appeal to the Board of Adjustment.
(B) A variance may be granted to allow development on a lot that exists at the time of adoption or revision of this chapter where reasonable development cannot conform to yard setback or lot coverage requirements due to substandard size of the lot.
(C) When a district shall hereafter be changed, any then existing non-conforming use in such changed district may be continued.
