  • When a nonconforming use of land, a building or a structure has been discontinued for one hundred eighty (180) days or more, the land, building or structure shall thereafter not be used except in compliance with the regulations of the district in which it is located. However, for a commercial or industrial building or structure or use only, upon application the nonconforming use may be extended up to an additional ninety (90) days subject to approval by the zoning manager. The applicant for the extension shall submit documentation to the zoning manager which clearly demonstrates that the nonconforming commercial or industrial building or structure has been actively marketed for the nonconforming use or has been undergoing repairs during the majority of the above-referenced 180-day period.
