When nonconforming use of property is discontinued through vacancy, lack of operation, or other similar condition for period of one year or more, thereafter no right shall exist to maintain on said property a nonconforming use unless the Board of Appeals on Zoning grants such privilege within one year after such discontinuance. No nonconforming use, if changed to a use permitted in the district in which it is located, shall be resumed or changed back to a nonconforming use.
