§ 154.103 NON-CONFORMING USES OCCUPYING A STRUCTURE.
   If any lawful use occupying a structure exists on the date of the enactment or amendment of this chapter, but would not be allowed under the terms of this chapter, such a use may lawfully continue, subject to the following provisions.
   (A)   Maintenance. Any structure housing a non-conforming use may be maintained through ordinary repairs.
   (B)   Enlargement, alteration, reconstruction, relocation. No structure housing a non-conforming use shall be enlarged, structurally altered, reconstructed or relocated unless the use of the structure is changed to a permitted use.
   (C)   Extension of use. No non-conforming use may be extended to any part(s) of the structure not intended or designed to be devoted to such use, nor shall the non-conforming use be extended to occupy any land outside such structure.
   (B)   Change of use. A non-conforming use occupying a structure shall not be changed except to a use permitted under the applicable district regulations.
   (D)   Discontinuance of use. When a non-conforming use of a structure, or of a structure and premises in combination, is discontinued for 12 consecutive months or for 18 months during any three-year period, the non-conforming use shall not thereafter be resumed. Any discontinuance caused by government action and without any contributing fault by the non-conforming user shall not be counted in calculating the length of discontinuance.
