Any use of land or structures lawfully existing on the effective date of this Code, or an amendment hereto, that is not permitted in the district in which the use is located may be continued, subject to the following conditions:
(A) No nonconforming use of land shall be extended to occupy a greater area of land than was occupied at the earlier of the effective date of either adoption or amendment of this Code or predecessor ordinances incorporated in this Code, which adoption or amendment caused the use of land to be out of compliance with land use regulations.
(B) No nonconforming use of land shall be moved in whole or in part to any portion of the lot or parcel other than that occupied by such use at the earlier of the effective date of either adoption or amendment of this Code or predecessor ordinances incorporated in this Code, which adoption or amendment caused the use of land to be out of compliance with land use regulations.
(C) When a nonconforming use of land is discontinued for a period of more than 90 consecutive days, it shall be deemed to be abandoned and subsequent use of such land shall conform to the regulations specified by this Code for the district in which the land is located.
(D) No existing structure devoted to a use not permitted by this Code in the district in which it is located shall be enlarged, extended, constructed, reconstructed (except to repair damage up to an extent of 50% of the replacement cost of the structure, or as ordered by the Building Official as set forth in § 150.109), moved, or structurally altered except in changing the use of the structure to a use permitted in the district in which it is located.
(E) Any structure, or structure and land in combination, in or on which a nonconforming use is superseded by a permitted use, shall thereafter conform to the regulations for the district, and the non conforming use may not thereafter be resumed.
(F) When a nonconforming use of land, a structure, or structure and premises in combination, is discontinued for three consecutive months, except for repairs covered by an approved building permit, not exceeding six months, it shall be deemed to be abandoned and the land, structure, or structure and premises in combination, shall not thereafter be used except in conformity with the regulations of the district in which it is located.
(G) Where nonconforming status applies to a structure and premises in combination, removal or destruction of the structure shall eliminate the non conforming status of the land. Destruction for the purpose of this division is defined as damage to an extent of more than 50% of the replacement cost at time of destruction.
(H) The City Council, after notice and hearing, may require that a nonconforming use be screened from view of the street or surrounding property, or may require the elimination of any nuisance factor caused by a nonconforming use.
