Where, on the effective date of adoption or amendment of this chapter, a lawful use of a structure or of a premises exists that is no longer permissible under the regulations and standards of this chapter, as adopted or amended, such use may be continued so long as it remains otherwise lawful, subject to the following provisions.
(A) No existing structure devoted to a use not permitted by this chapter in the district in which it is located shall be enlarged, extended, constructed, reconstructed, moved, or altered, except in changing the use of such structure to a use permitted in the district in which it is located.
(B) Any non-conforming use may be extended throughout any part of the building or structure which were manifestly arranged or designed for such use at the effective date of adoption or amendment of this chapter, but no such use shall be extended to occupy land outside of such structure.
(C) Any structure or any premises in or on which a non-conforming use is superseded by a permitted use, shall thereafter conform to the regulations and standards of the district in which such structure or premises is located, and the non-conforming use shall not be resumed.
(D) When non-conforming use of a building, structure, or land which is abandoned for a period of one year or more, it shall not be continued again, and any future use thereof shall be in conformity with the provisions of this chapter.
(E) Where non-conforming use status applied to a premise, removal or destruction of the structure shall eliminate the non-conforming use status of the land, except as it may qualify as a non-conforming lot of record.
