A nonconforming use of land (where no building or structure is involved), existing lawfully at the time this Zoning Code became effective, shall not be expanded or extended in any way, but may continue for a period of not more than 2 years from the effective date, at the end of which time the use shall be discontinued or changed to a conforming use.
