   (B)   A non-conforming use shall not be changed, except to a use that is permitted or special under the applicable zoning regulations.
   (C)   When a non-conforming use is discontinued for a period of 12 consecutive months, it shall not thereafter be resumed, and any subsequent use of the land shall conform to the applicable district regulations.
