The Planning Commission shall have the power to hear and decide on applications to permit a change from one nonconforming use to another. The Commission shall not permit a change unless the new nonconforming use is equally or more compatible with permitted uses in the district in which it is located than the existing nonconforming use. The Commission shall not allow any changed nonconforming use to be increased or enlarged, nor extended to occupy a greater area of land than was occupied by the original nonconforming use. In permitting the change, the Commission shall require appropriate conditions and safeguards in accord with other provisions of this chapter.
