Any use, structure or activity lawfully in existence on the effective date of this
chapter which would be permitted under the provisions of this chapter relating to
the zoning district in which it is located by the issuance of a special use permit
may be continued; provided, however, that such use, structure or activity shall not
be expanded or enlarged; and provided further, that if any such use, structure or
activity shall be discontinued for a period exceeding two (2) years, the same shall
conform in all respects to the provisions of this chapter relating to the zoning district
in which it is located. If the existing structure or activity expands or enlarges,
the applicant will have to apply for a special use permit for the old and new section.
Whenever the boundaries of any zoning district are changed, any use, structure or
activity which shall therefor become nonconforming as a result of such change through
want of a required special use permit shall be subject to the provisions of this section.
